represented by the ring of doom. It would be the hardest for Frodo to resist this power. The author probably knew that when he wrote the book. It would take courage and strong will on his part to go all the way to Mount Doom to destroy the ring. Frodo is small, not as strong as Boromir is and not as wise as Gandalf is, but he still had that power inside of himself. Although The Fellowship of the Ring ends with Frodo continuing on his journey with his companions, he will be able to destroy the ring because of the hope he has. He has no choice but to hope in himself because he knows near the end of this story that he is the only one who could destroy the ring. And, Frodo must destroy the ring because he must save Middle Earth. He has no choice but to believe that power is something inside himself and not found by defeating others and ruling over them as Boromir had thought....
