Tolkien himself confirmed the actual hero of the story isn't Frodo, it's Sam

In the book, the orcs are terrified when they hear him coming, because the sheer number of powerful magical artifacts he's carrying by that point give him a palpable aura of menace which, unlike Frodo, he directs outward at threats to his bestie.

Yeah they speculate that Shelob was defeated in battle by some kind of Great Elf Hunter in Mordor to seek glory and Frodo was said Elf's slave he used as bait (Orcs do a lot of nasty projection when evaluating their enemies' culture and behavior)
