Thanks Rosa, good article. It covers all of the reasons that Frodo had to leave. His pilgrimage was completed and nothing, especially himself, was the same. I always felt it the right ending, too. It would have minimized the impact of his mission if it was otherwise. The bittersweet ending always gets to me!
