Well said, Thingol. I couldn't have done better.

In response to Tarlondeion Of Gondolin's thread --Frodo is always doing something. He's carrying the Ring. That in itself is a great task and burden. Frodo is physically impaired during his journey because of the burden of the Ring, therefore he cannot do the things that Sam can do. I believe Frodo is the stronger character because even though the Ring's power grew on him, he still had the will and the strength to carry on to Mount Doom. Sam's strength lies in his devotion to his master and his ignorance and purity of heart. Frodo is not able to have these characteristics because he is the Ring-bearer.

I want to say more, but can't think of what. Oh well. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
