At Weathertop, did the Nazgul fear Frodo? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

As for the original question, I'd say it would be quite laughable if the Nazgul were afraid of Frodo. As it says somewhere in one of the books (can't quite remember which), Sauron is the only one who can wield the ring. He is the Lord of the Ring. Therefore, Frodo can't wield it and the Wraiths would have no reason to fear him. And I agree with Jellinek; what command, even minor, of Frodo's wouldn't have conflicted with Sauron's orders?
