This may get people odd
I know that Frodo was burdened with the ring from carrying it for so long and his soul and spirit was drained but...
I was talking to my friend after seeing the movie, and he said "Frodo is really crap isn't he". And i said "no he...[thinks] well i supose he is". I mean you can say "he destroyed Sauron" but he didn't stand a chance if it wasn't for Sam. Lets recap what Frodo did while he was the ringbearer:-
-Stabed a troll in the leg
-Got stabbed by a big orc
-Hid a lot
-Got bit by a spider
You get the idea
But! Lets reveiw what SAM did in the few hours he was a ring bearer for:
-First up he beat Gollum in a back attack (which gollum said no-one has done before)
-Killed the decendant of a very powerful Maia (or mortally wounded)
-Won a power of wills against two ancient, malice filled spirits
-Stormed an orc tower, slaying their captain
- Rescued Frodo
- Raided the orc tower fdr diguises and food
- Then gave up the ring very willingly to Frodo, which all the other ringbearers did very grudgingly
I wonder why this is? Is it because Sam did not have time to fall under the rings spell? Or is he fundamentally stronger than Frodo?
