Okay, I just read the wonderful thread on Boromir (who, I agree, is Totally Fabu!). But one of my favorite, often-overlooked characters is Sam! I cried in the movie when he showed his dedication to Frodo, and I cried all the way through the whole Mordor-section of ROTK. Sam was the ultimate personification of friendship! (Couldn't you just HEAR the music from "Rudy" as Sam carries Frodo the rest of the way up Mt. Doom...? Okay, sorry!)<P>And here's an interesting thought: Why do you think that Sam was not as affected/tempted by the Ring as were Frodo and Bilbo? Was it only because he possessed the Ring for such a short period of time? Or is there more to it than that?
