Of course, it can be argued that this is the way it is in the book as well. That he was but a puppet to his own fate. But nonetheless, I dislike it. Perhaps I'm just too nitpicky? Or a fellow freak of the original poster? 
Sam, on the other hand, is a character to love. Brave, courageous, and loyal. All the good qualities a main character should portray. |
I think that tolkien designed frodo and sam to compliment each other the way that they do. Neither could have succeded in their mission without the other. Their characteristics go together perfectly, plus you need to remember what a terrible burden carrying the ring is, so surly that on its own would explain frodo seeming like a bit of a pussy.
