He needs to understand as frodo did that it is the burden of carrying the ring falls on one person and no one else can carry that burden for him and if he falls than the darkness will desend on all mankind and the darkness will prevail.

It is appointed to him to bear this burden and no one else.

I wasn't thinking of Frodo Baggins, but had a similar impression a few minutues ago reading this. Perhaps Leo Donofrio represents that long, fragile and "bruised" reed of grace invested toward the time of need.
