I thought that little section was extremely interesting.I think it would make an intensely dramatic scene:some of the remaining Nazgûl lying to Frodo,catering to his ego while the others eliminate the danger to the Ring. And then,the arrival of Sauron. We never see Sauron &quot;personally&quot; in LoTR,unless you count the brief occasional glimpses into his thoughts.To think of his confrontation with Frodo,and his triumphant seizure of the Ring(and swift defeat of the West):terrifying!
The book ends the way it should,though. Any of the other possiblities are too dark,and would have been out of keeping with the overall hopeful vein.

Those who will defend authority against rebellion must not themselves rebel. </p>
