Child of the 7th Age, I never thought of it that way. It never occurred to me that his sailing West was probably the best choice for him. Though now that I muse about it, it does fit how Tolkien portrayed his character. Thanks for food for thought! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
P.S. In regard to those fanfics, they probably only give Frodo a wife, etc., because that's what didn't happen in the books. If Tolkien had had Frodo stay in the Shire, they would probably be writing as if he had sailed West! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
