[QUOTE="MarkB, post: 6078475, member: 40176"] There's another aspect worth considering. Gandalf doesn't know for certain the path the Fellowship will take ahead, but he does know that not all of them are committed to making the journey to Mordor, and he's probably sufficiently aware of the Ring's influence to know that it will start to work upon the members of the Fellowship. So he knows that Frodo is going to have to make some agonisingly tough choices further down the road, usually with little clear counsel and limited knowledge of the paths ahead. Perhaps he foresaw something like Frodo's decision at the Falls of Rauros, perhaps not. But either way, he knows that Frodo needs to start taking his destiny into his own hands and making the decisions that will change the fate of his companions. So "Let the Ringbearer decide" may be seen as practice for the later, even weightier decisions. [/QUOTE]
