LotR -- Book 2 - Chapter 10 - The Breaking of the Fellowship

[Encaitare]

Lhunardawen, you made some very good points in your last post.

I just had this crazy thought...
Amon Hen + Amon Lhaw = Taniquetil + Manwë + Varda

I'm curious about this; do you think maybe you could expand on it?

I have been thinking...could it be that Frodo in some way expected someone to come after him, giving him the final nudge he needed? This could have been the reason he chose to walk away. He knew what to do; he was just afraid. Maybe he was trying to "tempt" anyone to come after him, to show him that indeed, the Ring's evil has begun to work even in the Company. Silly, I know.

I don't think it's silly, but quite possible. The thought that he might be followed must have at least entered his mind, even though Aragorn assured him that he would be alone. I don't think he was trying to tempt anyone, but he might have wondered if any of his companions would be tempted nonetheless.
