| Oh, dear, you've got me sniffling again.... “Mr. Frodo, you got the job done, however it happened. What difference that you didn’t do it all by yourself? So you’re a hero and Sam’s a hero, and Mr. Merry and Mr. Pippin – you’re all heroes! It was too big of a job for any one person – even Gandalf couldn’t do it all by himself. And you did the biggest part, carrying the Ring to Mordor. It had to get to the Crack of Doom, didn’t it, before Gollum could bite off your finger and fall in with it? He wouldn’t have brought it there himself, that’s certain!” Good job, Rosie! Frodo, must you *always* be so stubbornly selfless? The greatest hero of all, and you can't see past your supposed "failure"! Sigh. Although he wouldn't be the hero he is if he wasn't so altruistic, I guess. It's a good thing he's got Sam, Rosie, Merry and Pippin around, nonetheless! Author Reply: He could forgive Gollum, but not himself. And yet it's symptomatic of his inner nobility, that he demands so much of himself, even while he's gentle with others. jo | |
