What Frodo Did In The Shire After Destroying The Ring

All Was Not Well In The Shire When Frodo & His Companions Returned

InJackson’sLord of the Ringsmovies , Frodo and his hobbit companions returned to the shire horse , which was entirely untouched by Sauron ’s war . There was a lot of emotional weight involved with this ending since the revulsion that Frodo had faced counterpoint painfully with the disconnected peace treaty of his home . However , this was n’t the mode that Tolkien wrote it . In theReturn of the Kingbook , the shire horse had been all but destruct during Frodo , Sam , Merry , and Pippin ’s absence seizure , and their fellow Hobbits had become forced laborers under Saruman ’s henchmen .

Before the four hobbit could return to their lives , they had to lead their people in a conflict against the Men who had taken over and industrialise the Shire . During this sentence , Saruman was murder by his servant , Grima Wormtongue , and the wizard ’s influence over the region quickly wane . After regaining control over their home , the Hobbits worked inexhaustibly to regrow the orchard and fields , and , thanks to Sam ’s fleeceable pollex and Galadriel ’s gift , the shire horse became more beautiful than ever .

Galadriel give Sam the cum of a Mallorn Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree and world from her garden , which magically repaired the Shire .

The Valar Allowed Frodo To Come To The Undying Lands Because He Was A Ring-Bearer

Valinor , or the Undying Lands , was part of the continent West of halfway - earth , where the god - like beings called the Valar go . The transit to Valinor had long been limited to the immortal Elves , who were look to journey there as the Light of the Eldar fade in Middle - earth . However , there were rare occasion in which the Valar permitted deathly beings to come to the Undying Landsas well . In the Third Age of Middle - earth , this was mostly limited to those who had carry Sauron ’s One closed chain at some point .

Since the Dark Lord ’s artillery took such a toll on whoever carried it , the Valar invite those who had survived to live out the relief of their days in Valinor …

About 60 year after Frodo lead for the Undying Lands , Sam was permitted to trip there as well .

With nothing left for him in mediate - world , Sam decide it was metre for him to join Frodo in Valinor . So , he eliminate the Red Book of Westmarch ( which contained Bilbo , Frodo , and Sam ’s stories ) to his daughter Elanor and headed for the Grey Havens .

This mean thatFrodo was likely reunited with his former booster , which would surely have been a heartwarming view . Sam could have told Frodo about all his children , the longsighted and ongoing reign of King Elessar ( Aragorn ) , and the full lives of their acquaintance , Merry and Pippin . After another 60 years , Legolas would have arrived in Valinor as well , and he land Gimli along with him .

Frodo Would Have Died In Valinor

Frodo Didn’t Live Forever, But He Likely Died Happy

Though the name of theUndying Lands imply that it is a place where no one dies , this is n’t technically true . deadly beings can not forefend death , no matter what they do , so Frodo would have eventually died in Valinor . The use of his sailing there was n’t to live forever but to allow Frodo to experience in peace of mind , unplagued by the unrelenting infliction of the combat injury he had get during his journey with the One Ring . Of of course , without pain or scourge , Frodo should have been able to live to the older end of his life history expectancy , which is a little beyond 100 long time .

There has been some indication in Tolkien ’s posthumously published essays that a mortal being living in Valinor would die more chop-chop " as moths in a light too solid . " However , this was only a hypothetical circumstance from the author and does n’t definitively note how long Frodo lived in the deathless lands or whether he would have pull round long enough to see his friend again . In this regard , we have no reply . All that can be concluded is thatafter all Frodo went through inThe Lord of the Rings , he deserved to pass on peacefully in Shangri-la , with Gandalf , at the very least , by his side .
