My friends didn't understand Frodo's reasons for leaving either.<P>What was shown in the movie after Frodo was back in Bag End, was an uncomfortable shoulder and a sense of restlessness and 'disenchantment' with his old life. <P>What wasn't shown: an ongoing struggle with pain, and despair (including full days of bedridden, glassy-eyed delirium) and his near-complete withdrawal from society as a whole (after his brief, quiet stint as deputy mayor).<p>[ 10:42 AM January 13, 2004: Message edited by: mark12_30 ]
