In part inspired by a recent thread, I was wondering whom you hold as the middle earth character(s) you dislike the most. However to make it more interesting I'd ask you not denote an obvious 'evil' character like Morgoth or Saruman, but someone less obvious. And please restrict yourself to a character from the books, if someone names Lurtz I'll scream
for my part I would nominate Radagast The Brown. Why? He strikes me as being cowardly and petty. Instead of aiding Gandalf in an important task, ie saving the world, when he had the chance, he just seems to be content to go talking with his birds. Therefore he seems pretty loathsome and pathetic to me.

#2 Sam Gamgee: A sheep with no sense of personal worth, dignity or self purpose. He just follows Frodo wherever with blind loyalty. I know he was essential to accomplishing the task but to me seems to lack any sense of individuality. To me he is the epitamy of slave morality and slave 'virtues'.

Anyone else?
