thanks for the comments, Thinlómien
I was trying to think of what to write for Frodo, and realized that Frodo seems to be the only person who possesses or seeks the Ring, who never expresses a desire to do anything with it, however mundane (a la Sam and Gollum). I got the feeling, when he is asking Galadriel why he can't read the minds of the other ringbearers, that it's more of an informational question than expressing desire to do so--his Osanwë experience with Galadriel (the only person he knows to be a ringbearer) was rather intimidating to Frodo. Maybe for these reasons Frodo is probably the best possible ringbearer. Of course in the end he is overcome and wants to keep the ring--Gollum 'takes it off his hands' by taking a finger with it! But before that, Frodo successively tries to give the Ring to Gandalf, Elrond, and Galadriel. Kind of the "anyone who would want to be a ringbearer is unfit to be one" conundrum. ![]() Cheers! |
