rutslegolas, try to read the posts above yours before posting. You will find that a couple of people have stated the same thing that you just did. (Just a hint... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img])

One way that I like to look at it is, initially Frodo was the more "spiritual" Hobbit, whereas Sam was the more "mundane" Hobbit. Frodo was more comfortable among the Elves, more versed in book-lore, and spoke a little Elvish, whereas Sam came across as the "country cousin," so to speak. As the two journeyed on the Quest, their very personalities began to change. Due to the influence of the Ring and the hardships that he had to face, Frodo became, well, more mundane, while Sam became more mature and spiritual. That was why, towards the end, Frodo was scarfing down every bit of food that he could find, while Sam was content with just a little. As Frodo became more mundane and worldly, Sam became more spiritual and detached, creating a sort of balance.
