Before or after the Ring was destroyed - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'd like to live before and after, just like most of the main characters in the book. Sam for instance...he had all that adventure and drama of living in the dark and dangerous times, but then got to enjoy the peace he himself had helped to create.

I don't think I'd want to be born after...just because I'd have missed out on it all. But then again, I feel that if I actually was around during the darkness I wouldn't look at is as adventure, but pure hell. It's a hard choice...but I suppsoe it actually depends on how long before the Ring was destroyed you came into the world.

I'd live around the time of the destruction of the Ring. I could have said that right off and saved myself explaining and pondering...ah well.
