Re: Favorite character

Deff Sam. He represents everything good and pure, kind like the Shire before its corruption. Throughout all of the trials and tribulations, Sam stays faithful, he almost blindly loves and helps his master, and ends up saving the world in the bargain. In return for staying virtuous and true throughout the quest, I think Sam receives inner peace when he returns home, unlike Frodo and some of the others. I know JRRT claimed that his books were not allegories, but it's obvious what shines through, and you can see good, simple, Christian characteristics in Sam.
