Was Frodo really a "hero" in the end?

I really have to disagree with you.

I can't see how the One Ring could bend someone greater than Sauron to it's will. Whether you think Feanor is greater than Sauron or not that's your oppinion, but The Silmarillion gave me the impression that Feanor was God Like, perhaps even rivalling and surpassing the Valar themselves in some aspects.

I also don't think Feanor would want to use the ring for his own benefit either as he could create more powerful creations of his own. Remember, Feanor could not be matched in the art of craft by anyone, not even by Aule or Melkor.
