Lord Of The Rings Question 8
The Return of the King - Who eventually destroys (but not intentionally) the Ring?
The correct answer is 'Gollum'
I have had many complaints about this question, so I went to watch the film, and here is what happened.
Frodo is standing on the projection over the lava, and was about to throw the Ring in. The Ring has a hold on Frodo's mind, and so it is not destroyed. Gollum arrives on the scene, and knocks Sam out with a rock. He then proceeds to wrestle with Frodo, and ends up biting the finger off that contains the Ring. Gollum, now possessing the Ring, starts to dance with glee. Frodo starts to fight with Gollum, and both move too close to the edge, and both of them fall in. It is Frodo however, that manages to grab onto something. Gollum is the one holding the Ring when it falls into the fire. Although it wasn't intentional, Gollum is the one that destroys the Ring.
