If something happened to Frodo

I was thinking lately. Who do you think could have thrown the ring into Mt. Doom if Frodo hadn't gone on the Quest, or if something had happened to Him.

In my opinion the most appropriate person to throw in the ring would be Aragorn. He is almost trying to prove to himself that He is not like Isildor. Isildor couldn't throw the ring into Mt. Doom right after Sauron was destroyed, even though he had every opportunity. Because of this the ring survived, and the whole quest was set into motion. Aragorn could prove to himself and to all the races who don't think that men are stong enough *coughelvescough* that men could assist in destroying eveil forever. [/QUOTE]

I agree with you. But having the quest entrusted to Frodo, a Hobbit of the Shire just makes it more interesting. Besides, Aragorn proves himself when he goes through the Paths of the Dead.
