Why is the ending so sad in the Return of the King - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I thought the ending to ROTK was a great one. It wasn't just some 'happily ever after' tale. JRRT really kept it in his style throughout the entire story. I'm also sort of glad that Frodo didn't go back to ME, he wouldn't have been able to go back to his old lifestyle, and I'm sure he was grateful to be back with Bilbo again. As for Sam, well, he was always to the point, and "Well, I'm back" suited him nicely.
