Re: The role of Fate in Middle Earth

I agree.Gandalf himself affirmed that ME was under a guiding hand,saying to Frodo of the Ring's finding:

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> "Behind that there was something else at work,beyond any design of the Ring-maker.I can put it no plainer than by saying that Bilbo was meant to find the Ring,and not by its maker.In which case you also were meant to have it."<hr></blockquote>

Meant by fate,or Ilúvatar.They are one and the same.

Those who will defend authority against rebellion must not themselves rebel. </p>Edited by: <A HREF=http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile&u=00000125>Inziladu n</A> at: 2/8/01 10:11:52 pm
