Was the reason that Frodo succumbed so much more deeply and quickly was because Frodo was weaker/less pure than Bilbo, or was it because the Ring was more powerful/trying harder during the time Frodo had it due to the world events (Sauron returning, the Ring being taken to the Mountain, etc). | |

single quotes weren't being “smart”; forced to proper quotes (‘’ instead of '')

| Jan 11, 2014 at 23:03 | comment | added | WestCoastProjects | Excellent answer. You addressed in well laid out detail the four primary elements: (a) Bilbo did not willingly leave the ring (b) Bilbo possessed the ring for less time (and apparently wore it less frequently) (c) Gandalf helped him (d) Bilbo being a "better" / "more pure" person. | |

| Jan 11, 2014 at 14:11 | comment | added | Mchl | Also remember the moment when Sam rescues Frodo from Cirith Ungol the latter angrily demands the Ring to be returned to him at once (I can't remember if this scene was in the book, or was it added to the Jackson's movie). And also don't forget Frodo decided to NOT throw the Ring into the Mountain of Doom. In Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring we can also see Boromir being reluctant to give the Ring back to Frodo after the hobbit falls into snow at the very beginning of their journey. | |
