Should Frodo have been the one to carry the ring? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Yes, Frodo should have been the one to carry the Ring. It would have had the same effect on Sam as it had on Frodo, and Frodo was as good a choice as any given the circumstances. A greater man (think Boromir) would probably have succumbed to the power and temptation of the Ring long before Frodo.

Do you have any other possible Ring-bearers in mind?
