Yes, Kalimac. That is how I saw it.
Sure, many of them are alone, but not really. I don't think that not marrying or having kids makes you alone, because you still have other family and friends.
Frodo had Sam, Bilbo had Frodo, Gandalf met lots and lots of people... etc.
I think it was more of an inner aloneness. An empty feeling that you can't share your burden. The only people who understand are others who are Ringbearers.
