I think, althought i still c Frodo as both strong and weak, that his character is the more complex as it has been suggested here. And having thought more sensibley, the thing about pity staying the hand to make a stronger man (or hobbit in this case!) i now totally agree with. What, perhaps i meant and didnt put very well, is that Frodo has remained unchanged in the sense he still does not wish to kill (that isnt necessarily a bad thing btw!), whereas merry/sam/pippin are all willing to. I just meant it as an example of their characters growing and his not in the same way.
