Olorin_TLA has just left Hobbiton.
Yes, nobody would have been able to destory it, and Frodo's corruption is a sure sign anyone else (with some incredible excetions, such as Bombadil) would hav ebeen corrupted if they bore it, but what about if the Fellowship had simply gone with Frodo (or the other way around)? Though still exposure, it's nowhere near as intense as the ordeal Frodo had to go through, and though I think that some might have fallen, I don't think everybody would have.



Edit:

Quote:
By the time that anyone else in the Fellowship succumbed to it, I don't think that Frodo would have been able voluntarily to give it up. So it would either have to be stolen (unlikely to succeed) or taken by force.
Oh, I didn't think he would. But whereas Boromir went into a mad attack, I think Aragorn and Gandalf would have been a lot more cold and calculating. They would have taken it by force, but used their reputations to act as if they were doing what was rihgt and that Frodo was driven insane by the Ring. Kind of like a twisted psychiatrist might persuade people that someone sane is insane.
