Anacardium and Frodo will consequently have the "obstinate" [Kent] drive as "if possessed" [Kent] to prove their worth as a hero of Middle-earth. Although Anacardium will eventually fall into the trap of desiring power because of their desire to prove their worldly worth, they have the good side to their nature that will be able to resist the power that the Ring is able to offer far longer than the other three keepers of the Rings of Power - Gandalf the Great, Galadriel the Elven Queen, and the Elven King Elrond. Frodo is the savior of Middle-earth even though he would never have made if not for the loyal Calcarea carbonica, "magnetized" [Kent] Sam and the obsessive Mancinella Gollum - however, it has to be acknowledged that it was the Anacardium will and drive to succeed that got him to the Fires of Mount Doom.
Frodo it is noted by Sam at the end of the journey drops out of social favor within the shire, and the fame for the quest goes more to the two friends Pippin and Merry. Frodo is haunted by his memories of darkness, and he feels that he is wounded beyond repair. "I am wounded with knife, sting, and tooth, and a long burden" P 323. [J.R.R Tolkien] The Return of the King. Anacardium has one important physical symptom of continual "pressing pain, as from a plug," [Boericke] that cannot be removed. Frodo is also overcome with his loss of the Ring, and sinks into an Anacardium melancholic "morose" [Kent] depression, he laments, "It is gone forever, and now all is dark and empty." P. 369. [J.R.R Tolkien] The Return of the King. The other characteristic notable physical characteristic of an Anacardium state is a weakening of the senses and indistinct vision as if "objects appear too far off." [Boericke]. Frodo at the end of his journey describes the all consuming affect of the Ring, "No taste of food, no feel of water, no sound of wind, no memory of tree or grass or flower, no image of moon or star are left to me." P. 254. [J.R.R Tolkien] The Return of the King. Anacardium can find no peace inside if they feel they have failed - "Delusion crime, as if he had committed:" [Kent] Anacardium suffer from the "Delusion that he himself was dead:" [Kent]. Frodo's wounds do not heal and he can find not rest. "Low-spirited, disheartened,...No peace. He is separated from the whole world." [Kent].
