It always seemed, however, that a person could relate to characters easier in Sci-Fi than in Fantasy (partialy due to the ever-so-frequent first person p.o.v. that Sci-Fi has). Thats one of the reasons for Tolkien's success, that people can relate to his characters as well as his cultures. We can all feel Sam's devotion, Frodo's Pain, and Aragorn's indecisiveness (about his being King).
