Frodo for a while remains living in the Shire, but is still greatly hurt and burdenend by the Ring and the injuries he sustained on his quest. In T.A. 3021, Frodo travels to the [[Mithlond|Grey Havens]], where he bids his hobbit-friends good-bye, and leaves on a ship for the Undying Lands in the West, together with Bilbo, Gandalf, Elrond and Galadriel. | | After the War of the Ring, Frodo and the hobbits travel homeward to the Shire.

| | + | Many have raised eyebrows at the behavior of Samwise and Frodo during their journey to destroy the ring. In the film adaptation, there are numerous gratuitous shots of Sam staring at Frodo in a way that would imply intimacy. Taken with the fact that they were alone for the majority of the novels, and Frodo's sexual preferences are never mentioned (Sam is later married, but still thinks about Frodo) it can be assumed that there was more to this relationship than many fans are comfortable admitting. |
