Living in MiddleEarth

[dragoneyes]

I found Frodo extremely lacklustre. Perhaps he was too tired to care?

I always thought that he was just tired of fighting and killing. He made sure that no hobbit killed another hobbit and tried to keep the number of casualties of any kind down to a minimum. He wanted the Shire to win, just not in the same way that Sauron would have won, killing everything in his path. It's not in a hobbit's nature to fight and kill, they will only do so, as you said, 'at a push'.

I belief he mentioned that sometimes he wished there would be an invasion of dragons so as to wake up those sleepy hobbit-folks

I don't remember him saying such a thing, but even if he did, I believe anyone's view would change after doing what he'd done.
