Many Thanks!
I would just like to thank all the people who responded to my question. This is a really great site for those are ignorant in the nuances of the books and desire more information.
It really is a shame Frodo can't let go of the Ring. I understand his guilt (though I don't consider him a failure in the least), but I really did not expect him to so grieve the loss of the Ring. I especially feel bad for Sam, my favorite character. I don't blame Frodo for leaving, but that's a poor reward for such loyal and dedicated service from Sam. I know he left him the house, but I think Sam would rather have had his companionship.
Thanks again to everyone who provided some insight into my question. And thank you all for your warm welcome into this forum.
