Would the quest of the ring still succeded if the fellowship had not broken up? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It would have been interesting to see what other reasons Tolkien may have created down the track for a parting of the fellowship. There must have come a time when the group was considered too large to get into Mordor. Perhaps Boromir would have attempted another and more successful grab for the ring?Perhaps the group might have been surprised by a roving band of orcs Isildur-style,and slain to the last-but-one hobbit, who was left to find Mordor alone? What about going around the south end and coming into Mordor from the East? I guess they didn't have time for that.

perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
