Did Gandalf have a Plan "B"? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

When Gandalf asked Frodo to take the ring to Rivendell, i think he knew that Frodo would do as he was asked. He had studied hobbits for many years and knew that it would be against a hobbits nature, especially one which had grown up with Bilbo, not to accept fate. And anyway, what would you have done if a wizard who would be a VERY bad enemy, came up to you and told you that yyou could save the world if you did what you were told, would you say no? I think everyone in the Fellowship, with the exception of Aragorn, was scared of having Gandalf as an enemy and that is why they all listened to his advice.
