What was the saddest? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The thing that always gets me is that the hobbits of the Shire ignore Frodo after he gets back. He went through so much, and the other three hobbits all benefit from their adventures, but poor Frodo doesn't. It was just so weird to be plunged back into the Shire where no one seems to care about the great deeds done in the outside world.

And then Arwen and Aragorn. I would hate to be an Elf and outlive the mortal(s) I loved. This reminds me of when I watched "The Green Mile". The very ending, at the nursing home, had me bawling. There's just something so terribly sad about being lonely.
