It's difficult to compare Frodo Baggins from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings with Daenerys Targaryen from George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series (adapted for TV as Game of Thrones) as they are vastly different characters in different worlds, but let's explore their qualities.

Frodo is a Hobbit from the Shire who is tasked with destroying the One Ring to save Middle-earth. He is kind, loyal, and determined, and is willing to do whatever it takes to complete his mission, even if it means putting himself in great danger. He is a reluctant hero who rises to the occasion when his friends and the world need him the most.

Daenerys, on the other hand, is a Targaryen and the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. She starts off as a young, vulnerable girl who is sold into marriage by her brother, but over time, she becomes a strong and fierce leader who is not afraid to take matters into her own hands. She is kind to the oppressed and wants to free the slaves in the cities she conquers, but she is also ruthless to those who oppose her.

Both Frodo and Daenerys have their strengths and weaknesses, and it's up to personal preference to determine who is the better protagonist. While Frodo is more relatable and his journey is more emotionally moving, Daenerys has a fascinating character arc and her story is more epic in scope.
