Why is the ending so sad in the Return of the King - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

If you think that the end of the Return of the King is sad, just consider the alternative.

And I'm not so sure that Frodo or Bilbo would have considered the ending too sad. They were going to the most wonderful place in the world in the company of Gandalf, Elrond, and Galadriel. And both of them were with the person that they most wanted to be with. (Sorry folks, but Frodo still loved Bilbo more.) Sam had his family to go back too, so things did not turn out too badly for him.
