Just finished _Fate/stay night_ (Saber route).

I'm wondering why Saber chose to return to her original timeline only to give
up and die, rather than stay with Shirou. Is it because of the consequences of
leaving the Holy Grail undestroyed (what's wrong with leaving it alone,
anyway?) or because she returned to fight, only to decide to give up as she
returned?

Why did Saber choose to return to her original timeline in Fate/stay night (Saber route) anime?


I don't remember the exact details from the anime adaptation, but in the
original Visual Novel, Shirou gets tempted by Kirei into using the power of
the Grail to change his past, but he refuses, choosing to stay on the path
he's chosen. His resolve makes Saber rethink her wish, and ends up accepting
her past. Also, the grail was tainted by Angra Mainiu, it had to be destroyed.
It could NOT grant proper wishes, it'd twist any wish and manifest it as
destruction.
