Lush,

As sad as the truth is, you are right about frodo. He did trade everything that could of fulfilled a person for that one moment on Mount Doom. It happens in reality too...many people do things that result in them losing the ones they love. its the payment for the heavy burdened decision that one makes in those situations. And in those decisions, we always lose the things we love the most, thats the torture of it all. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Frodo gave up everything because of that decision. What was sadder is that he really had no choice in the matter, his heart was lost in Mordor..he traded his soul in a sense. Claiming such a thing would never of allowed him to live a normal life. the power of the ring would eventually destroy all of his loved ones and everything he held dear to him. he claimed it and that doomed his soul in middle earth. atleast he was allowed to travel to the undying lands to live the only life he could. atleast he was allowed some kind of life. for frodo dying in the end would of just been terrible. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] I often wonder how different the story would of been if frodo had been the one to diminish with the ring at the end instead of gollum...thats a thought i often have. i hope all that made sense. i tend to ramble alot....
