No one ever talks about the guilt and shame Frodo must feel after the events at Mount Doom. He failed his quest, he failed Sam and he failed Middle Earth. He got the ring all the way up to the edge of doom yet he couldn't bear to destroy it himself. Yet all of Middle Earth regards him as the hero who destroyed the ring, and he probably doesn't see it that way even though he was the one who wrestled Gollum off the edge. But he didn't do it because he was thinking of the greater good, he did it because Gollum stole it from him. And even while hanging off the ledge his need for the ring makes him consider letting go to get it, he needed to be coaxed by Sam to not let go. His behavior is so much unlike him that he becomes a completely different Hobbit with no concern for anything but his precious- something that he feared since meeting Gollum.

In the scene where Aragorn tells the hobbits they bow to no one, I always felt the expression on Frodo's face is pained almost as if he feels he doesn't deserve the praise

Frodo Baggins is such a complex character and I especially love Elijah Woods portrayal of him because you can really feel how torn apart Frodo is inside after the events of RotK. His guilt doesn't allow him to feel like a hero.
