Very cool. I would almost argue it is a slight weakness in the story though that basically none of the main heroes died. Boromir and Theoden are the ones that come to mind who were minor heroes at best.

That's so cool, I didn't know that at all, but I've fantasized about a scene like that on my own. It would have been heartbreaking, and I'm not sure it would have been better, but I imagine Sam after having seen Frodo claim the Ring as his own, and Frodo and Gollum fighting over it, Sam stricken with grief and regret realizes there is only one way to get rid of the Ring once and for all, so he decides to make the ultimate sacrifice for Frodo and all of Middle-Earth, he bearhugs Gollum as he's dancing with joy over finally possessing the Ring again, and throws himself and Gollum into the lava of Mount Doom.

Any Hobbit holding the One Ring for only a few hours, or even a few days, would be like Sam: give it up easily. The humble heart is hard to corrupt. Frodo, bless him, had the Ring for 17 years (in the Book) and used it often before even finding out it was "The One". Ergo, the closer the Ring got to its death, the more control it could have over Frodo. Had Frodo died against Shelob, Sam could have easily sneaked alone through Mordor to the Mountain and tossed it in without the trouble Frodo had at the end. Hobbits are hardly little creatures. But yes. Sam's a Legend. The MVP of the Trilogy.

Wow, well said.. an who am I to argue with Illuvantir? 🙇🤣 I'm not 100% sure that Tolkien would agree with you, as in letters he said his guess is that ultimately no one would be able to let it go. 😥 But for me personally, I agree with you. I think Sam would toss it in.. no problem. 😅 I even suspect Elrond, Aragorn, and Faramir would have a chance at it too! They all gave up easy chances to take the ring, and it seemed easy for them. In fact, those 3 didn't even struggle... they actually did NOT want it. Pretty EPIC!!! (Elrond tended a sick Frodo personally for days, with the ring right there, and even put a chain on it for Frodo while he was in a coma -- which means Elrond interacted with it... but by all accounts not tempted a bit! What a LEGEND!!)

We shouldn’t put Sam on a pedestal and declare him immune to the Ring. Besides Tom Bombadil, no one really was. It was a struggle for Sam to carry the Ring. He did feel the temptation, it was very real, and it took a lot of strength for him to shake it off. If he’d carried it for as long as Frodo did, it would’ve had the same effect on him as it had on Frodo. For the most part, for humble bearers like Bilbo, Frodo and Sam, it’s about the length of exposure to it. It’s the naturally arrogant and greedy souls like Gollum who fall to its power immediately. But despite the short length of time he carried it, Sam was not unaffected by it. We should remember and acknowledge that, because that’s what makes his success in shaking it off so admirable. It wasn’t easy for him to do that.

Sam was tempted in the movies as well..he was bit reluctant when Frodo asked for the ring..Frodo had to quickly grab the ring from sams hand

I never saw the scene that way, but I see why a lot of people do. Makes total sense! I always pictured that scene more like "am I a bad person if I give my drug addicted friend this ring crack?" sorta thing. Like for the first time Sam realizes that his friend is getting totally messed up!

I almost wish the ring had a face so we could see it’s reaction to to notion that this new ring bearer just wanted to be a gardener. I imagine the ring thinking, “well damn, gardening? Really? How am I supposed to sell that?! Well, here goes nothing.”

Yeah. Right? If I had to pick a dictator to rule the world.... Sam the Master Gardener doesn't sound that awful, right? 🤔 I guess if we all had to make offerings of potatoes, could probably make that happen.

The Rankin-Bass "Return of the King" covered this topic in an interesting way. While Sam carried the Ring and swore to finish the quest, he experienced a vision of himself using the Ring to claim victory against Mordor and transform it into the "gardens of [his] delight", and he declared he would do the same to the rest of the world. At the last moment, before putting the Ring on, he forces himself away. It was then that he returned to free Frodo and return the Ring to him. He realized he couldn't continue to carry it because the temptation, after such a short time, almost took him. I always loved this depiction because even someone as strong-hearted and good-intentioned as Sam could do great evil with the Ring. Transforming the world into a garden, in theory, sounds wonderful, but it would actually be a terrible thing, especially when this includes forcibly turning sentient beings into animals.

Gandalf had already theorized that hobbits are somehow extra resistant to the Ring. Sam was just so unambitious that he was extra resistant to temptation

I think to remember Sam said that he didnt need to be the master of all gardens, but only wanted to return to his garden, live peacefully. Frodo, honestly, is just a package Sam is carrying. Even pippin and meriadoc were more useful than frodo

Frodo is not the example of “small kindness” that Gandelf waxes poetically about in the beginning. Sam is, Sam is immune to the ring entirely because of his pure goodness and devotion to his friends. He is the counter to everything the ring attempts on Frodo becuase he just naturally has the power to fight it’s effects better than anyone because he is just so single handedly kind and good

The book was low-key about it but Sam was not just incorruptible, he was the Shire's blue ribbon gardening winner for 5 years straight before he left on his adventures with Frodo. The Ring was unable to tempt Sam with what he already had well in hand.

Even in the film, when Frodo tells him to give the Ring back, he hesitates and draws back for a second.

@thegreyhavens167 7 ай бұрын

True. Well said. For me, personally, I viewed that more of Sam being worried to give the ring to Frodo (like a person resisting giving a drink to an alcoholic).... but I totally see your view of it too. Based on how the movie is structured, I bet your view is probably what PJ was going for. Pretty much everyone struggles with the ring except Elrond. Even characters that did not struggle with it in the book, such as Aragorn and Faramir.
