Re: Aragorn in Mordor

Let me repeat the question.

Aragorn, Radagast, Gollum, Saruman, Frodo, Samwise.

Which doesn't belong? And why?

Another hint: Bilbo talked about this early in life and did it late in life.

PS: Others may disagree, but I think it is debatable whether or not Aragorn ever went to Mordor. In the appendix it says he was last seen looking toward the Mountains of Shadow, but it does not say he crossed them. He searched Ithilien for signs of Gollum but I think it unlikely he entered Mordor at this time. The boundary of Mordor doesn't start until one goes beyond Shelob's lair, or passes the Gates of the Morannon. While it is likely Aragorn conducted mopping up operations in Mordor after the War, I don't believe it says anything definite about it.
