Message: <blockquote data-quote="Storm Raven" data-source="post: 1288788" data-attributes="member: 307">Frodo wouldn't let Sam take the Ring (one he had it in his possession) because he was under the power of the Ring and wouldn't let anyone else have it willingly. Frodo wouldn't let Sam carry the Ring for the same reason that Gollum desperately wanted to get his hands on the Ring: it creates a desire in those around it to possess it, and makes them paranoid that everyone around them will want to take it from them.Further, it was Frodo's task because Galadriel had seen that it was. Remember, powerful elves have precognition in the story. They can see the future, and based upon those visions, they guide others. Galadriel has pronounced that it is Frodo's task, because she has foreseen that it is. And because she foresaw that, the prophecy she foretold comes true.</blockquote>
