And the ship went out into the High Sea on into the West, until at last on a night of rain, Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. “Then, Frodo kissed Merry and Pippin, and last of all Sam, and went abroad and the sails were drawn up, and the wind blew, and slowly the ship slipped away down the long grey firth and the light of the glass of Galadriel that Frodo bore glimmered and was lost.
FRODO HOME FULL
Theory Two: Frodo Dies and the Undying Lands are HeavenĪlthough Tolkien swore up and down that The Lord of the Rings was not allegory, it was undeniably full of metaphor.Īfter the goodbyes on the shore, Sam watches Frodo go: While it is not explicitly stated that they stay alive, we do not see them die we see them literally sail away. They are both clearly alive! Frodo and Bilbo sail with the elves and Sam returns home.
FRODO HOME MOVIE
In the movie The Return of the King, we see Sam take Frodo to meet the elves at the harbor (aka the Grey Havens), where he is reunited with Bilbo.
But it is worth considering what kind of reward the Undying Lands are. Okay, that isn’t an exact quote it’s something Patricia Elzie-Tuttle said to me as a joke. “Frodo, you just threw the One Ring into the fiery pits of Mordor, what are you going to do next?” Theory One: Frodo Lives in the Undying Lands The dialogue continues, where it does not in the book (borrowing words from elsewhere in the book):įrodo: We set out to save the Shire, Sam. I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.” Here at last, on the shores of the sea, comes the end of our Fellowship. His lines are slightly different in the movie:
Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep for not all tears are an evil.” Gandalf says, in the book: “Well, here at last, dear friends, on the shores of the Sea comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-earth. He also says: “I am wounded, wounded it will never really heal.” This suggests that remaining in Middle-earth- living-is too difficult. It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: some one has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them.” I tried to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me.
