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

I think one reason people get so mixed up is Frodo's so brooding and angsty which is what we've come to expect from such heroes, while Sam's so practical and grounded.

If Frodo were a woman it would be completely unambiguous who the damsel and who the knight is It becomes a matter for debate because Tolkien was into all male casts so the gender and romance cliches are muddled

Seriously if it were written today the Frodo character would absolutely be the Haunted Girl with a Terrible Curse
