Meril--

This is such a beautiful and insightful analysis. I had noticed from the book that Sam and Frodo's relationship changed throughout the course of the quest, but I have never followed through so carefully as this. Thanks so much for this way of looking at things. I will pay closer attention to this idea the next time I reread these sections.

The movie, of course, is wonderful, but PJ does not capture these nuances of the master/servant relationship, or how the two gain insight into each other's souls and gradually become closer.

Again, many thanks.
