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

Frodo's fate is more tragic. The burden of wearing the ring Is a toll that make his actually "feat of glory" look more passive than it actually is. I mean, I can easily picture an anime where the boy hero has to escort some priestess carrying an awful curse to a cleansing place.

And that's basically the dynamic between Sam and Frodo.
