You must understand things in perspective though. Frodo had been near the ring since he lived with Bilbo. Bilbo left it to him when he was 33 but Frodo didn't actually leave the Shire until he was 50. So the ring had an early start yet Frodo was resiliant to it power. Then he gets stabbed with mogul blade and "The wound will never fully heal"-Elrond, Fellowship of the Ring(Movies). Then Gandalf, one of his closest friends die, I'd probably give up hope there without the burden of the ring. Finally after a long and difficult struggle he reches Mordor and the Black Gate, by now the ring is causing his stabb wound to give him great pain and is getting really heavy. His rations are meager so he has little strength left. Yet he still has a long way to go and now he is randomly being controled by the ring, his strength is giving way and he can't fight it much longer. To top it all off he is following a guide who is planning to betray and kill him. Now tell me, honestly, do you think that you would have lasted half as long as he did? He has just reasons to act thus in the movie many of which I have named above. Frodo is a very strong character though he may not have excelent fighting skills, he truly is the hero of the story. He bears a burden that Galadriel and Gandalf could not. Nor could Aragorn or Legolas, though they had the fighting skills. Frodo had the strongest heart and the greater goodness. The only one who might have been abe to take the ring to Mordor is Sam and such a journey would have ruined His life forever. For the rest of his life, after bearing the ring, Frodo could not be truly happy again. It truly wold have been easier to give up for he knew that even if he did succeed, the world would be as a forest after a fire. Frodo and Sam are the greatest characters in The Lord of the Rings!!!!!!
