I don’t think it’s fair to say that Frodo wrote the book alone. Frodo and Sam’s POV were generally equal as they experiences all that last stuff together. I understand that it’s POSSIBLE – I just thought that it was silly to think that the book would be any different. The story would be much more of a hagiography, I think. Though what I’m really looking for is how Sam’s POV (and, I suppose, Merry & the various scribes) would have been different with Frodo’s death. That would have, among other things, changed the tenor of Elessar’s coronation. That is, he could have been rescued alive by the Eagles but perished in Minas Tirith. I really mean to imagine that Frodo dies before ever writing his part of the book. Incidentally, I should probably have phrased the question better. He could have succeeded at Mount Doom & still perished. All it takes is imaginging a little less lembas, or Shelob pumping a little more venom into him, or a the Orcs taking a little longer to get bored torturing him. Seems silly to assume that one would die but the other would be rescued to write the story.įrodo was in pretty bad shape by then, and it’s not hard to imagine him being in even worse shape. I will assume that if Frodo perished on the monuntain, so would have Sam. *****Don’t bother looking for a fifth footenote. But I will not speak ill of him, for despite his other sins he did bring Kate Winslet into our lives, and as she is the next-to-last vestige of Eldarian beauty in Mortal Lands, he is to be forgiven.

That is a vicious lie put about by that guy who directed that movie with the giant monkey. ****Though of course there was no silly wrestling match. Who cut the ring off Sauron’s hand? Isildur, that’s who. ***Yeah, that’s right, the heirs of ISILDUR.
