I was reading a Facebook group earlier in which Harry Potter was being compared to Frodo. The thread was based on the idea that there are epics in which the hero of the book survives all the evils that occur in order to give support to the idea that Harry won't die in the last book, and LotR was used as an example. Now I know there is a large debate over who the true hero of the books is but if let's just assume that it's Frodo we're talking about here.

So the question is: do you consider Frodo to have 'survived' or not? It feels obvious to just answer yes because of course he is alive by the end, but I'd like to hear your opinions.
