Frodo failed at Mount Doom — and Tolkien said that was the entire point. In this Lord of the Rings lore breakdown, we explore why no one could have voluntarily destroyed the One Ring, what Tolkien revealed in his private letters about Frodo's failure, and the hidden chain of mercy that actually saved Middle-earth.
