Hail Morwen Tindomerel,

Well met! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Of all the views in this discussion, yours most closely resonate with mine, and are expressed with a remarkable combination of nuanced eloquence and clear forthrightness.

To wonder with concern about the fate of separated companions is just the kind of noble trait Frodo's strength of character is capable of. Boromir's struggle being an all-too-understandable one appears to assist as a whetstone for the kind of pity and patience with which Frodo treats, for example, Gollum.

At your Service,

Gandalf the Grey
