Frodo tried to distract the crowd, singing and dancing on a table, but he jumped and fell, causing the Ring to slip onto his finger. Consequently, the Hobbit turned invisible. When he reappeared, Strider pulled him aside and warned him that he was drawing too much attention to himself. That night, the Black Riders arrived in Bree and attacked the inn, but Strider managed to hide the Hobbits from them.
When they woke in the morning, they found all of their horses gone. With a pony named Bill that the Hobbits had acquired there, Strider led Frodo and his companions into the wild. He guided them to Rivendell, and led them through the Midgewater Marshes to Weathertop. The Ringwraiths were driven away in fright by Aragorn with the use of fire. Aragorn despite his skill could not heal Frodo's wound; a fragment of the Ringwraith's blade remained in Frodo's flesh, where it continued to move towards his heart.
Near death, Frodo was rescued by Glorfindel , an Elf -lord, who took the injured Hobbit upon his horse, Asfaloth. They crossed the River Bruinen Loudwater and the Ringwraiths halted on the other side. They ordered Frodo to give up the Ring, but he refused. Glorfindel arrived in Rivendell and Elrond physically healed Frodo. The memory of the wound, however, remained for as long as Frodo lived in Middle-earth. After Frodo had made a partial recovery, Elrond organized a great Council , to which representatives of all the free peoples of Middle-earth attended.
They discussed the history of the Rings of Power and decided that the One Ring needed to be destroyed by being cast into the fires of Mount Doom. As the ring was brought forth, fighting broke out, and Frodo volunteered to take the Ring to Mordor. A member of each of the Free Peoples offered to join Frodo in his quest, forming the Fellowship of the Ring. On December 25 , the Fellowship of the Ring departed from Rivendell and headed south. On January 12 , the Fellowship attempted to cross the Pass of Caradhras in the Misty Mountains , but were unable to due to a snowstorm.
The snowstorm was dealt by an unknown force, of which Gimli seemed to have prior knowledge. He knew that the mountain would try to thwart them.
Instead they traveled through the mines of Moria at the urging of Gimli. Moria was deserted a millennia before when the Dwarves uncovered a Balrog , known as Durin's Bane , beneath the city, and a subsequent colony had been overrun by legions of goblins. An Orc stabbed Frodo, but his Mithril shirt saved him from the deadly blow. The Fellowship ran, but met Durin's Bane on their way. When they reached the Bridge of Khazad-dum , Gandalf turned to hold back the Balrog but was ensnared and fell into the chasm.
Before the Fellowship departed from the forest, Galadriel gave each of them a unique gift. They were also provided with Lembas bread , Elven cloaks, and boats to voyage down the Anduin. The Fellowship continued their journey south to Amon Hen. They set up camp, and when Frodo was alone, Boromir tried to take the Ring from him, corrupted by its power, to bring it to Minas Tirith.
Frodo put on the Ring and managed to escape. While the rest of the company scattered looking for Frodo, he decided he must go to Mordor alone, lest the Ring corrupt the others too. He set off secretly, but was found by Sam, who insisted on coming along, as he had made a promise not to lose him. Thus, the two Hobbits continued towards Mordor alone.
Meanwhile, Boromir, Merry, and Pippin were attacked by Uruk-hai ; Boromir was defending the Hobbits, but he was finally mortally wounded by arrows, and the Hobbits were captured, to be taken to Isengard. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli found Boromir as he was dying, and after paying his last respects, Aragorn sent Boromir in a boat down the Anduin in the fashion of a funeral.
The three then decided to track Merry and Pippin. Frodo suddenly feels a terrible desire to put on the Ring, and he does so. We hear stories of great evil, of the wretched creature named Gollum and that something dark has arisen in the land of Mordor.

This leads me to one of my "favorite hobbies" about Arda : Valar-bashing. However, Elrond 's quote leads me to believe that the Valar pawned this off to M-E on a technicality. I'm with you on the Valar-bashing, brother.
A technicality, yes, and pure bunk. Of course it should be their problem, they started the whole effin' thing! CirdanLinweilin The Wandering Wastrel. Basically the "nah, we are fine over here, thanks" attitude. Kolbitar New Member. Musings on the issue: The Ring , like Jormungandr as Ouroboros biting its own tail , the Midgard serpent, is like chaos or entropy symbolized--no mortal can overcome these things ultimately.
But, as in the Anglo-Saxon and Northern mythological stories Tolkien drew upon, regarding Fate and the practice of honor-- as a central theme in Beowulf it was the role of a good man, and a good king to face all trouble to arise. And just as Beowulf faced and defeated foe-after-foe, he finally encountered the dragon--faced it--and succumbed.
Frodo faced foe-after-foe until he faced the cracks of doom for which he sought--and doom, as a noun means death, destruction, or a terrible fate, and as a verb, it means condemnation to the inevitable.
He was broken physically his finger but likely first emotionally worn down , and then intellectually with his choice. He saw that all inevitable chaos lay before him, and to stave it off temporarily for the sake of others, he walked straight towards it. What caused his break? It was speculatively probably quick and terrible.
The cracks-of-doom held exponential pressure. What caused the intellectual break? The movement of Will? It was like stepping in front of a speeding truck to save a loved one--one can resist the momentum, but will be moved and will be broken. Last edited: Mar 6, From chapter II "The Council of Elrond " in Book Two of "Fellowship" this is Elrond speaking : 'And those wo dwell beyond the sea would not receive it: for good or ill it belongs to Middle-earth ; it is for us who still dwell here to deal with it.
Aramarien said:. It's interesting that Elrond would say this. Elrond Half-elven had never been to Arda. How would he know? Perhaps this was more of his opinion? As for Frodo , the choice he made at the end could be quite simple. He was no longer able to fight the strength of the Ring , especially at the height of its power. One could think of someone being tortured and tormented relentlessly day and night and finally had no more strength to fight and gave up because they literally had no power left to fight.
Frodo said to Sam on Mt. Doom, " I am almost in its power now. I could not give it up, and if you tried to take it I should go mad. I stand corrected!!! It might appear so. But this is, from external evidence, iffy territory. Book One in "Fellowship" still bears the mark of being a "New Hobbit " to some degree. JRRT did not revise it entirely to come into line atmospherically with the later parts of LoTR which I, truth be told, find to be one of its strengths - none of this A to Z hyperventilation that seems to be thought necessary in so many thriller or the like movies; the "Alien" quadrilogy with Sigourney Weaver, especially the first one, does not have the "monster" rampaging onscreen all the time.
Especially in several parts of HoMe, I thought "why did Eru allow this bunch of indolent wimps to enter Arda, especially as their opponent was that nihilistic psychopath Melkor?!?
Then Sauron was ashamed, and he was unwilling to return in humiliation and receive from the Valar a sentence But he damn well can snap on the handcuffs and forcibly drag the offender off to first detention prolongation of which is again, in Germany, a matter to be decided by a judge. Back on topic, in Aman there were several for whom the One Ring would not have posed the slightest risk.
To any and all of the Valar, the ring would hardly have been a plastic trinket. Indolent derelict wimps, the lot of them.
