| This is very touching, very well written. One can only imagine what torment Frodo still endured as he returned to the Shire and tried to heal a fea that was shredded by ravages of evil. The elves did see something - Galadriel, Arwen, Elrond - and perhaps Gandalf made it possible too - for Frodo to go west and be healed of his misery. This look from his eyes is so sad. One wonders what might have become of him had not these other arrangements been made on his behalf. Thank goodness the Wise did see what was needed for him. Author Reply: Yes, I always found it very hard to accept Frodo's leaving Middle Earth forever -- it was only after I tried to feel what he might have meant when he said he'd been "too deeply hurt" that I could accept that he really *had* to go. I wrote "Another Way of Leaving" to explore what might have happened if he had not had that escape route to the West. Thank you for the review -- I'm so glad you liked it! jo | |
