He is a wonderful character.

What does he represent? Probably those dark little parts of ourselves that we pretend do not exist.

I agree. It might have been a general perspective of humanity's "dark little parts" or possibly even Tolkien's personal "dark little parts".

and if Sam hadn't have been there to push Frodo on would Frodo have ended up the same as him?

I think he would have failed the quest and died. He was resistant to the Ring's power so he wouldn't have become like Gollum, but lacked the push factor that Sam had.
EDIT: He was also too compassionate.
