The Light in Frodo's Face

[littlemanpoet]

I am glad, HerenIstarion, that you spoke up. I had the same reservations as you and you answered them well. RavenWinter, I appreciate your insights on the nature of light and how this worked in Frodo. Sil, I am fascinated with your insight on the Frodo/Gollum Ring mirror image. I think it does more justice to the relationship than the good versus evil pov. Sharon, I agree with you regarding the elf-friendness. You described it well, even if you can vision a stone. Stone a vision?

For me it's Sam, Frodo, Sam, Frodo, um, ...
Eowyn, too. Of course, you understand that, Sharon. No? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I enjoyed SOV's idea of the Ring as a mandala of individuation rather than as strictly a thing of evil. That is, it was a primal force that caused the hard choices and perseverance amid harrowing turmoil - I don't thin, I'm saying it well enough, but I was fascinated by stone of vision's insight on that.
