A hobbit could never assume control of the ring. Also for stealth reasons they are perfect. He has good experience with hobbits, particularily that family. Now its understandable why gandalf would want frodo to go. with experience of traipsing around forests hunting for mushrooms to eat. The most tough dwarves you could think of to boot. Surrounded by awesomely powerful high elves. He gets all the way to the Cracks of Doom, Sauron's center of power and the point in Middle Earth where the Ring is at its greatest, before he finally succumbs.

It's similar to how Gandalf wonders to himself in Rivendell if Frodo will become like a 'clear glass full of light,' to 'those who can see.' I think that Frodo's continuous struggle with the Ring purifies him that he gradually abandons all thoughts of violence, domination and control in order to resist the Ring's increasingly irresistible urge to seize power.

When he first sets out on his journey, he is very happy to have his Western blade, and later Sting and his mithril coat, and he talks nonchalantly about killing Gollum.īy the end of his journey, he has abjured killing of any kind, even against Saruman and his henchmen. 'I will never bear a blade again, fair or foul,' he cries.įrodo grows continuously through the series. My favorite Frodo moment is kind of the opposite: when he and Sam are in Mordor, and Frodo throws away his orc mail, and sword, and gives Sting to Sam.
