Well, Child of the 7th age, I have always enjoyed your able defenses of Frodo-- I think you understand his character on a very deep level. Your analysis of Sam, I am happy to say, is on the same level. Like you, I have always seen these two hobbits as beautifully complimentary. I really have never seen Frodo's fate as a sad one. It is sad for me that the story ends, and sad for Frodo and Sam to be parted-- but just think of all the wonderful elves Frodo will be able to meet out there! No doubt all the best Noldor kings who went down fighting Morgoth will have been reborn by this time, so Frodo will be able to meet Fingolfin and Finrod Felagund --find out what Beren and Luthien were REALLY like. And as I've said before, Frodo and Sam's meeting after Sam's had his life with Rosie will be very very good.
