Please don't over analyse - LOTR is, as JRRT stated, a heroric romance. A point that very clearly comes to light in the relationship between Frodo and Sam - those interested in this topic can read more in 'The Letters of JRR Tolkien' by Humphrey Carpenter - where JRRT clearly states that it is a relationship that conserns love, affection, admiration, courage, and companionship.
I could go on for hours rebuking those in this thread that did not have the same opinions as I - but I think there has been enough of that in the XXX replies above [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
