thanks for welcoming me, Mhoram [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I spend hours on this forum everytime i come, because there are so many great discussions here, not only about Tolkien and great literature, but other issues as well. Barrow Downs really stimulates your intellectual side!
as for my questions...never mind [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]...in another thread, someone posted a link to this EXCELLENT article. I highly recommend that all of you read it, because it makes TOlkien's writing exrtremely relevent to life, and it helps you understand the ending better. Here the link:
Too Deeply Hurt- Frodo's Departure
Of course, if anyone else has their own interpretation of it, i want to know everyone's thoughts too. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] This can also be discussed in the tread titled "The Departure of Frodo."
