Why was Frodo so willing to take the Ring at the Council of Elrond

>>84516167
he only wanted to do the right thing, same as mookie

>>84516167
he was the only one able to do it.
the other fuckers shat their pants just being near the ring,let alone touching it.

>>84516561
They could have put it in a long bag with a long string and had the eagles clutch the string and fly it to mt doom

>>84516167
He was already addicted to it and didn't want to let go

He wanted to be like his uncle and go on an adventure, even if it turned out to be an uneventful walk to rivendell, he would have a story of his own to tell about making a delivery to the elves

>>84516167
No long bags were available

Goddamned Dwarven propaganda. There were plenty of long bags. Fucking dwarves, man.

why frodo didn't want to stay with his friends in the shire?

>>84518916
Why didn't frodo simply stuff all the shirefolk into long bags and drag them along for the journey

What's the tax policy on long bags?

>>84518953
i mean at the end, sorry

Why didn't they just take the ring with the elves to the undying lands?

because he needed to get the ring appraised, as that was a major source of income for the shire. they don't have taxes as they have a socialist community. that ring can help them trade overseas better and increase their wealth and fame.

Why didn't lobelia simply toss the silverware into long bags then run away, then tug on the long strings after she'd gotten well away

>>84516561
He didn't know that. He has no idea about any of the territory he'll be travelling through and he had no reason to believe he had any advantage over elves/men/dwarves familiar with dangers ahead.

>>84519173
because sauron was strong enough without it to fuck up the world of men? they were about to be slaughtered at the black gate before the ring was destroyed, they couldnt survive without destroying it

>>84519173
>Bring the most powerful evil artifact too elf heaven and expect that to go well.

He was already hooked onto the Ring. This was the only way the Council will ever let him touch it.

>>84518916
He, like Bilbo became corrupted with remnants of Sauron from being around the ring so long so he had to leave and be watched by the elves.
While Sam was a goat friend Frodo managed to protect Sam while sacrificing himself, making Frodo's friendship superior to Sam's friendship.

Agreeable

>>84517015
This is hauntingly possible

He wanted to help, he knew he had a certain resistance to the ring, and he didn't value his life that highly. It was as if he knew the inevitable outcome as soon as he was given the ring for the first time.

>>84518916
In which part? He didn't stay at the beginning of the story because he grew up reading Bilbo's stories and wanted an adventure of his own. He didn't stay at the end of the story because he had been corrupted by the ring and went to the grey havens to live in peace with the elves.

>>84519173
The undying land is basically heaven. You can't take anything with you.

>>84519173
It isn't a physical realm. It's essentially the afterlife. The elves were passing on. That's why it's one way.

No it's physical but men aren't allowed in

About the Undying Lands (Aman)

"After the Downfall of Númenor, and its destruction, all this was removed from the ‘physical’ world, and not reachable by material means. Only the Eldar (or High-Elves) could still sail thither, forsaking time and mortality, but never returning."

The ring was talking to him at that point and had ensnared him. He didn't want any of the others to take it since he wanted it for himself.

>>84516167
Because Bilbo had borne the ring, and he admired Bilbo.

He definitely wasn't the only one able to do it. He was the only one pure and innocent enough that wouldn't be seduced by its power (Actually in the books the other person that wouldn't be corrupted by it was Tom Bombadil because he didn't care about anything other than singing songs and chasing river bitches). Gandalf and Galadriel would have become unstoppable forces of pure power. The men, elves and dwarves would have used it to build their empires, control their armies and wage war.
>>84516950
The eagles also would have been seduced by its power and they were too proud and noble to associate with humans. They only helped them that one time because Gandalf was a good friend and they owed him a favor. The eagles literally had never let anyone ride them before that day.

>>84520754
It's still physical you banana, just that a magical fog that leads men away from it when they try to find it

>>84516167
He didn't know what he was getting himself into and just wanted to help

>>84521062
Ah, so like the island in Lost?

>>84516167
Hobbits weren't influenced by the ring like other races.

>>84521368
Sort of, the only reason Frodo and Bilbo were allowed in was because they were with the elves and Gandalf.

Men were never allowed but could see it, after the Numenoreans invaded the undying lands and actually landed on them they were BTFO and forbidden from coming back

what about women

Frodo volunteered to take the ring because he is aware that it is his responsibility since he inherited it. He really just wants to go home and let everyone else worry about it but his nature will not let him pass his burden onto someone else.
