Another lovely essay from [livejournal.com profile] fictualities, this one on Frodo's freedom to choose and what this means thematically.

(Really, I shouldn't keep having to point to her excellent essays; just friend her yourself so that you have the pleasure of reading them on your own friends page.)

*hums along to music playing*

Far over the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away 'ere break of day
To claim our long forgotten gold . . .

On my last rereading of The Dark is Rising, that drove me batshit - that while the bad guys get to choose whether to be a Lord of the Dark, the good ones are born to serve the Light, with no choice whether they want to make the necessary sacrifices. How can you trust the dedication of the fighters in a cause so important, if it's not their own decision?

It's so great to hear that you're enjoying the essays! Tolkien rocks my world, and in my old age I've decided to let out my Inner Geek and say so, at length. :D
