Silence of the Elves

[Lyliac]

I actually think that if Frodo really died after the Shelob incident, then Sam would not have left his side, because shortly after Frodo is taken away Sam scolds himself for not being where he needed to be-by Frodo's side. If Frodo died before the Shelob incident, I don't think Sam would have gotten very far, or would have realized he was not meant to do the job. I don't think he felt the pressure of the ring and the importance of it being destroyed as much as Frodo had, therefore leading to him not even reaching the Cracks of Doom.
