The True Hero of The Lord of the Rings

[Cinderella]

I think the Frodo is DEFINATELY the Hero. If you think about it, If it wasn't for Frodo, Everything that Aragorn, Boromir, Gandalf, Sam, Legolas, Gimli, etc. etc. etc. did would have been for nothing!

I have to disagree strongly with this. Each character did their part, there can be no "one great hero." Each of these charachters would have failed indefintely if they had been alone in their task, if there was no one on their side to help them achieve their ultimate goal.
I think Frodo is clearly deserving of his title as hero, but Sam is equally deserving, he is no less importatn than frodo in my eyes becasue without Sam by his side to help him to the end, Frodo would have failed early on. And in the reverse Sam cod have never carried the ring without Frodo's help. His love for Frodo was the only thing that made it possible for Sam to carry the ring in those dark hours in Mordor. It's quite clear also that all four hobbits wouldn't have made it v. ar out of Bree without Aragorn, and Aragorn could not have ever become king and done all the great things he did if frodo and Sam had not made it to Mt. Doom. Frodo ultimately failed in the end, every hero has his shortcomings. However these shortcoming can only be defeated by help from others. A hero can only be a hero with a little help from his friends.
