Which member of the Fellowship could bear the Ring longest without being corrupted? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think Sam would probably have been able to resist the Ring's power longer than any of the others, but I don't think he would have been able to make it to Mt. Doom alone. I don't think any of the others could/would have provided the kind of help and support to Sam that Sam provided to Frodo. I agree with Galadriel (movie) in that: "This task was appointed to you, and if you do not find a way, no one will." So, if Frodo had been killed, I don't believe anyone else would have been able to destroy the Ring.
