I didn't search so I am not sure if this has been discussed...anyway..

I am not sure I know why this book is called the Lord of the Rings. Supposingly as Gandalf said that the Lord of the Rings is Sauron, and Frodo titled his book The Downfall of the Lord of the Rings And the Return of the King....so why only part of that title?

My English teacher used to tell me to relate the book to the title...so I was just wondering about this.

I suppose the reason won't be that Frodo's title is too long right?
