Apparemment, Tolkien est bien clair à ce sujet dans la Lettre 246, dans une petite note, qui souligne que lors de certains moments fatidiques, il y a bien « prise de contrôle temporaire » (terminologie de Sosryko) de Frodo par la providence divine sauf aux crevasses d’Orodruin où Frodo est totalement possédé par la Roue de Feu :
[citation]Frodo was given ‘grace’ : first to answer the call (at the end of the Council) after long resisting a complete surrender ; and later in his resistance to the temptation of the Ring (at times when to claim and to reveal it would have been fatal), and in his endurance of fear and suffering. But grace is not infinite, and for the most part seems in the Divine economy limited to what is sufficient for the accomplishment of the task appointed to one instrument in a pattern of circumstances and other instruments[/citation]
Eru lui a donc manifesté son amour par ce don gratuit qu’est la grâce, qui lui donne le courage d’aller au-delà de ses limites, car livré à lui-même, il en serait incapable …
Mais Sosryko va sans doute dire cela mieux que moi ;-))
