Also why Sam was rewarded with BTB and eternal riches and Frodo was shipped off to the afterlife. #lotr

Frodo kind of failed

True, but also, I think the idea is that anyone in his position would have failed. No one could resist the ring of power, even a humble little hobbit.

Sam succeeded where everyone else failed

True. But would he have been able to take Frodo’s place for the entire journey? Not sure, although he didn’t seem to struggle with the ring for the brief time he had it.

Sam stayed humble and true and it paid off.

Because Frodo carried wounds that could never heal.
