Why did Frodo go? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think that the Frodo of the Shire didn't want to take the ring, he wanted to remain at peace in Rivendell or go back home. But I think that the other Frodo, the Frodo he becomes by the end of ROTK knew that this was something he had to do, it was his fate. That's why Frodo feels like some other will was using his voice, it's the inner Frodo who is speaking, the Frodo who hasn't come to the surface yet. That's why Frodo's character is so interesting. There's the part of him that's very hobbitish and there's also the underlying Frodo who comes out more as the books go on.
