Frodo and Sam’s breaking of the Fellowship is unique in that the pair choose to leave. When Frodo Baggins and the emissaries of other races meet together at the Council of Elrond in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the assumption by all present is that the nine members will travel together until the Ring is thrown into Mount Doom in Mordor, Lord of the Rings' evil kingdom. At the same time, Gandalf is placed in a situation critical to his resurrection as Gandalf the White in the sequel. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring subverts the audiences’ expectations by removing the character that was ostensibly the leader. No member of the band of nine suspected that the angelic and powerful Gandalf would be the first to die over the mortal members of the group. Their guiding light for the journey has been taken away, and they are left alone. When the Balrog pulls Gandalf into the chasm of Khazad-dûm, the Fellowship of the Ring looks on in horror and despair. His role as the leader mirrors his part in The Hobbit and while that story is designed for younger audiences, Gandalf’s fate in this film points to its darker thematic material. The Fellowship’s confidence in Gandalf is one of the reasons they all agree to band together and journey to Mordor. Fate may have played a part in delivering the One Ring to Frodo but Gandalf discovers the true identity of the Baggins family heirloom and sets Frodo off to destroy the One Ring.
Gandalf the Grey is partially responsible for sending Frodo on the quest with the Ring in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
