Good post, Quempel...however...Frodo, in the end, failed, too. He did not throw the ring into the fire. I do not suggest that he did not do an extremely great deed and completed an amazing quest almost to the end, but he did not do what he had set out to do.

I wouldn't compare Frodo and Aragorn. Their paths were different and their rolls non-comparable, to my mind.

Besides, we're talking about the movies here. In the movie, Frodo practically is on the exact same level as Aragorn and they are almost comparable. We should have this discussion in the book threads.
