That's exactly what I think as well and also exactly what I said in the last voting
But still, to me, Frodo is a more interesting character, and he is not
that horribly uninteresting as many of the main characters happen to be. But also:

This is wonderful, I say. Yes - the stance of Frodo towards the Sackville-Bagginses when he returns is just something very moving and shows some other, deeper dimension of Frodo and shows indeed, maybe more than anything else (at least more than anything else I can think of right now), the change he went through on his journey.
Yes, no long pondering.
