The Injury at Weathertop - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I had never really thought about this before until last night when I was trying to go to sleep, and I'm pretty sure it has not been brought up before in a topic. I've searched enough times.

When Frodo was injured at weathertop, he was "passing into the shadow world" as some might put it. He was turning into a wraith. If all of this was happening, then why was he allowed to keep the ring? Wouldn't it have made sense to take it from him until he got better? I mean, if he had turned into a wraith, then how easy would it have been for him to take the ring to Sauron?

I don't know why I thought of this. But does anyone have any opinions on this matter?
