Question

Why is Frodo, leave the shire at the end of ‘The Lord of the Rings”?
And where does he go?

I want a very good explanation.

Answer 1

It tells you in the book. You should read it, it's awesome. I guess I'll tell you anyway (wouldn't want to spoil the book for you!). When Frodo was stabbed in the shoulder on Weathertop by one of the ringwraiths (those guys in black), a piece of the blade stuck in his shoulder so that he almost became a wraith himself. Elrond was able to save him-barely. But the wound wasn't ever going to fully heal. Remember at the end of the movie he's writing in that book, he suddenly clutches at his shoulder, because every year on the same day that he was stabbed, his wound becomes painful again. Also, the ring had left an incurable wound as well. Frodo leaves for the Havens and from there he sails on to Valinor with the Elves. (Remember that he was stabbed in October and the ring was destroyed on March)

Here's a passage straight from the book:

"One evening Sam came into the study and found his master looking very strange. He was very pale and his eyes seemed to see things far away.
'What's the matter, Mr. Frodo?' said Sam.
'I am wounded,' he answered, 'wounded; it will never really heal.'
But then he got up, and the turn seemed to pass, and he was quite himself the next day. It was not until afterwards that Sam that the date was October the sixth. Two years before on that day it was dark in the dell under Weathertop.

Time went on, and 1421 came in. Frodo was ill again in March, but with a great effort he concealed it, for Sam had other things to think about. The first of Sam and Rosie's was born on the twenty-fifth of March, a date that Sam noted."

Here's another:

"'Yes, I am coming,' said Frodo. 'The Ring-bearers should go together.'
'Where are you going, Master?' cried Sam, though at last he understood what was happening.
'To the Havens, Sam,' said Frodo.
'And I can't come.'
'No, Sam. Not yet anyways, not further than the Havens. Though you too were a Ring-bearer, if only for a little while. Your time may come. Do not be too sad, Sam. You cannot be always torn in two. You will have to be one and whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to be, and to do.
'But,' said Sam and tears started in his eyes, 'I thought you were going to enjoy the Shire, too, for years and years, after all you have done.'
'So I thought too, once. But I have been too deeply hurt, Sam. I tried to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me. It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: some one has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them."

There, that's as thorough as I can get. Hope it helped. And you really should read the books, if not just for the information, they're awesome!

Answer 2

Frodo leaves the Shire because from the combination of being stabbed by the Witch-King at Weathtop and the burden of carrying the One Ring he has become too scarred/drained emotionally and physically. Also, you must take into consideration that Hobbits live a very secluded and innocent life in the Shire, rarely leaving it and hardly ever seeing any sort of major conflict (the Scouring of the Shire in the book aside of course) and Frodo had been exposed to more evil than even most men.

As for where he goes... he crosses the sea to live with the elves in Valinor which is basically portrayed as an elven paradise. The elves grant Frodo, Bilbo, and eventually Sam this right because they were bearers of the One Ring. Eventually nearly all of the elves make the journey to Valinor. Frodo is not immortal so while it is not written he would eventually die here, but he would, however, live out the rest of his life completely free of any darkness or evil.

Answer 3

Frodo goes to a place that is called the "White Shores". It is a place that there is no death, no illness...literally an Eden. He goes there because after all that happened with the ring, he cannot continue with "regular" life. He was scarred too deeply to go on in the Shire with the other hobbits.
Also, if you have read the book, The Return of the King, when Frodo and the gang get back to the Shire, Saroman is there (i.e. like the vision that Frodo saw in first movie, The Fellowship of the Ring).
I would suggest you read the book to fully understand. I can't explain it as well as the J.R.R. Tolkien does.

Answer 4

Frodo In The Shire

Answer 5

Froda left the Shire at the end because if he died he would become a ringwraith/Nazgul. That is why everyone who had a ring left and Frodo went to Valinor.

Answer 6

Frodo was wounded by the Ringwraith and attacked by Shelob.
He cannot be heal completely
Furthermore, he was a ring bearer, he went with Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel(the other ring bearers)
so he was on the last ship that can go to the land
Arwen had said even if she regret to stay, she cannot,because there was no other ship that can lead her to the Land

Answer 7

Its been a very long time since I read the book. But I believe he was going to join the Elves. Because the power of the ring had changed or scarred him and he would be more comfortable there.

Answer 8

I think he goes to the grey heavens and maybe not ever coming back to the shire. i haven't read the last book yet so i have no clue

Answer 9

The ring symbolizes life. He held on to it too tightly and it wore him out. He is ready to move on and learn what is after life. He is going to the after life.

Answer 10

I have to read these books! Absolutely Awesome!
