Why did Frodo allowed himself to be........

[Silmiel of Imladris]

"To have come so far still bearing the ring, the hobbit has show an incredible resilance to its evil." - Lord Elrond,FOTR

Elrond has a good observation on this because Frodo was a fighter, Boromir on the other hand as soon as he saw the ring he must have it. I may be getting into the symbolism here but the ring is like any other material posession that we tend to obsess about. Although the ring is more dangerous than my computer. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] The ring has an awesome power that is why Gandalf didn't take it and Elrond didn't want it in his house because if it consummed them (and it probably would have, Gandalf and Elrond are powerful but the ring would have gotten to them in time if they had to bear it like Frodo) they would destroy the world no matter if they wanted to or not.
