Why didn't Frodo fell in love during the whole story? He's supposed to be the hero, so why didn't he get the girl?!

What girl was there to get though?
Sam and Rosie=Adorableness
Personally, I think that the mistake that some stories make is that there *has* to be some kind of romantic intrest and love story involved, I do not agree this but that could also be becuase I am still quite bitter from my last serious relationship ;D

Oh good one, Luthien!  And Anwyn, I feel sorry for your bitterness. I am glad you can still see the 'adorableness' (is that a word? ;D) about Rosie and Sam. It would be great though if Frodo ended up with someone as well. He seemed so alone at the end... I hope I met a nice little elf in Valinor  |

Nice little elf?? how could he possibly find a little elf Eyalan since the elves are really taller than him unfortunately. May be he could date one Dwarf girl  . Anyway, I do not agree the fact that heroes should get the girl in every movie you know The story would have been a little bit nonsense if Tolkien had added a girl in the end. Since Frodo was thinking of nothing else but getting rid off the ring. |

So yeah well, you go stand there with Luthien then ;D I still think he was left alone a little, ad that's pretty sad. Does anyone remember that Sam and Rosie lived with him in Bag End for a while? So I can totally understand why he moved out, it must have been very frustrating being the hero and just get to watch the two of them being in love |

Well ... I sort of liked how Frodo didn't have a lover or anything. If he did, it would be the same old boring "hero" plotline where the hero always has to find a sweetheart in the end. It did make things more interesting and we wouldn't want the story to start focusing on him and the girl's relationship. And this also makes him more heroic in a way ... more so than the heroes in other stories where they mostly act heroic for the sake of their girl. Frodo did it mostly for the whole of the people in the Shire and that does make him more of a hero. So, if he had a beloved, then he would impulsively be thinking about her during his quest and be doing all of it just for her. It wouldn't have made a difference in the outcome of the story but the whole story between the beginning and the end would have been alot different and less unique as we would have read about the exact same thing in every other hero story.

LOL, As far as I know "adorableness" is not an actual word, just one that I made up, I do that sometimes. I am okay with my "bitterness" I am determined that it will help me be smartert the next time and that I will see the warning signs when they were laid out, becuase my ex was not physically abusive, but verbally abusive. Nothing wrong with mistakes, as long as you don't make them again I think that needed Frodo went to Valinor not becuase he was jealous of his friends happiness, but becuase the quest had just taken so much from him, for as long as he remained in middle earth the wounds he had received would always bother him. |

I agree with Haldir about the fact that he wasn't in love. It made him seem more independent. Aragorn was the picture of independence, but his real weakness was Arwen.
