Mark, I really like what you said in your post.

Saucepan Man, you said:

There are many examples of people who have acted immoraly (judged by reference to standard norms) and yet who reap the rewards of their immorality and suffer no (earthly) punishment.
That's true, but the key is earthly. They will suffer punishment after they die.

Considering all that, I'm quite glad Arwen showed him mercy, and gave Frodo her westward berth.
I am, too. Frodo suffered so much, both while bearing the ring and afterwards. I'm really glad he was able to go into the West and live out the rest of his days in peace.
Arwen
