I have a better idea Frodo could take the Ring for the first part of the movie and than Sam for the second part. xd It will work.

I think that Frodo felt a sense of duty to take the ring because it was given to him from Bilbo. And also, because he knows that it would corrupt him slower than the others. 3nodding

Mrs Peregrin Took I think that Frodo felt a sense of duty to take the ring because it was given to him from Bilbo. And also, because he knows that it would corrupt him slower than the others. I agree that he felt it was his burden to carry the ring because Bilbo gave it to him (and Gandalf told him to keep it secret, keep it safe), but I don't think Frodo thought that he would be corrupted slower or any less than anyone else. He felt that once it became his burden, he couldn't just hand the ring off to someone else knowing that it would be such an evil influence on them. He has such a huge heart that he couldn't see someone else hurt by it. That is why he tried to go off by himself after Boromir tried to take the ring. He tried to protect everyone from its evil power.

I think Frodo 'saw' what would happen if anyone else took the Ring. The other races of Middle-earth could not agree on anything and that would have cause terrible issues for another to take it. It would feed off of the distrust the races had against each other. *shrug* basically how Jackson portrayed it. He saw the fighting reflected in the Ring and the flames engulfing them. To me it didn't seem that he was corrupted enough to want to take it for the sake of having the Ring. Of course it's all personal opinion. People see different things when they read smile

I believe that he felt a since of duty because he had held it for that long without it corrupting him...

I think he took it because he felt a sense of duty, but I also think there was a little jealousy when he heard other people wanted to take it. So basically he took the ring because he didn't want anyone else to have it, but he also thought it was the right thing to do.

well, I chose other, not because I don't think it was the others, but because I think it was all that plus something. Boromir was talking about taking it to Minas Tirith (well, I like to call it Minas Anor, but that's just me), and Frodo knew, from how everyone else was talking, that it was something that had to be avoided. I think that a major reason was that Elrond was sort of challenging i=him, pressuring him. only with his mind and subtle actions, but Frodo was a very sensitive and perceptive hobbit. I think that he knows that Elrond wanted him to take it (though Elrond said afterwards that he wasn't going to force it on him, it was his own choice. I seriously doubt that he really would have wan't to back out from the personal decision of the powerfull elven lord. In theory, yes, but probably he would not have. also, I think the fact that he was already a ringbearer, and another ringbearer (Elrond) considered him the ringbearer, the feeling were probably at least subconciously projected to Frodo without meaning to. That's my reasoning, at least. Though it was probably other things, I just think that was a major one.

I think Frodo wanted to feel the power in part, but I believe that Frodo's main reason for taking that ring again was so that he could be the one to bring peace to the world. The greatest dream for the world is peace, and Frodo wanted that responsibility, that duty, to know the world as the bringer (the bearer) of peace.

I don't think that he took the Ring for any of those reasons. In fact I don't think he knew why he took it; he just did. I dunno; that's just what I think.

I beleive that Frodo felt rather obligated to destroy the ring, as it was his uncle who kind of sort of brought it upon him (and the world) in the first place. He must have felt some kind of calling to do this, as well as a sense of duty.
