Great point about Frodo being "almost mindless" in regard to trying to throw the One Ring into the fire. I think you are right. If the Ring had anything to do with it at that moment, then it means the Ring can read Frodo's thoughts, which I don't believe. I think the Ring had planted the thought in Frodo's mind to never harm ot hurt it as well as be protective of it. If you say the Ring screamed, "NO!" in Frodo's, then that means you think the Ring believes it will be destroyed by a common fireplace fire. No way. If the thought was placed in Frodo's mind at the beginning, then FRODO, subconsciously, is the one who believes that a fire can destroy it. To me, that makes more sense.
So, at the beginning, did Gandalf think Bilbo's Ring was: (1) One of the Lesser Rings? (2) One of the Sixteen Rings? (3) The One Ring to rule them all?
Gandalf + the One Ring = Valar level.😱
Great video, as usual.😁👍
Glad you enjoyed it
