Most of you have discussed compassion but overlooked his trust in Gollum. I think it is quite understandable, and quite fitting with Frodo's personality, like was previously said, to feel for the poor creature - but to completely trust him, now that's something I find quite hard relating to. 
 And it sounds like Frodo does believe in Gollum's inner goodness and that Gollum will be faithful to the end.
