The True Bearer of Hope: Reconsidering Samwise Gamgee as the Primary Hero of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings
While Frodo Baggins is traditionally viewed as the protagonist of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, a careful analysis of the narrative structure, character development, and thematic elements reveals that Samwise Gamgee functions as the trilogy's true hero. This paper argues that Sam's unwavering loyalty, moral fortitude, and decisive actions at critical junctures position him as the central heroic figure whose journey embodies the work's core themes of sacrifice, hope, and the triumph of ordinary goodness over extraordinary evil.
Through close textual analysis, this study demonstrates that Sam's character arc follows the classical hero's journey more completely than Frodo's, progressing from humble gardener to Ring-bearer to the eventual Mayor of the Shire. Unlike Frodo, who increasingly succumbs to the Ring's corruption and despair, Sam maintains his moral clarity and serves as the driving force behind the mission's success. Key evidence includes Sam's rescue of Frodo from Shelob's lair, his temporary assumption of the Ring-bearer role, and his crucial intervention during the final moments at Mount Doom.
Furthermore, this analysis examines how Sam's working-class background and practical wisdom represent Tolkien's idealization of English pastoral values, making him a more relatable and inspiring figure than the aristocratic Frodo. The paper concludes that while Frodo serves as the nominal Ring-bearer, Sam functions as the emotional and moral center of the narrative, embodying the "eucatastrophe" that Tolkien identified as essential to fairy-tale literature. This reframing positions The Lord of the Rings not as the story of a reluctant hero's burden, but as a celebration of steadfast friendship and the heroism found in everyday devotion.

For extreme language nerds:
In Latin, words that originally started with “w” changed to “b” and then “v.” But some words kept the “w” sound because of custom.
Those were usually place names, words that were used a lot. The problem was that the letter V eventually became recognized as standing for the “v” sound. So newer Latin needed a way to indicate the old “w” sound. The solution was a double U. Other languages modeling themselves on the Roman system, like German,
adopted double U as well. So, it started out as two “oo’s,” and that’s why it’s called “double U.”
Old English already had its own letter for “w,” called wynn. It’s something we never see today. It was needed because Old English had words like water and we, so there was no question as to whether “w” was a real sound. The problem with wynn was that it looked too much like P and made things confusing. After the Norman invasion, as English took on French words, the wynn fell away and the French-style double U was used to indicate the “w” sound.
In French, to indicate the double U, they used “ou,” as in oui, “yes,” and ouest, “west.” After a while, they adopted the W, especially for words borrowed from other languages. By then, however, there was a print tradition of writing the two Us as V-shaped. English speakers continued to call it the “double U,” but by the time the French adopted it, late in the game, it looked like two Vs, and that’s why the French call it double vé, “double V.”

That is where the "misunderstanding you" prefix in my note came from...I sensed some less than devout enthusiasm for the bible other than the words of Jesus in the thread. I was obviously incorrect. Sorry about that.
I'm curious if you view the bible as the divinely inspired Word of God which reveals Jesus Christ, who is himself the ultimate Word of God (John 1:1) but that Jesus (the Word of God) does not inspire the bible (the Word of God)?

Is that not a distinction without a difference though? If Jesus=god, then word of god=word of Jesus.

Unless I am misunderstanding you, to be fair, plenty of Christians do claim that. They claim Jesus is god (and the holy spirit is god for that matter), and that the bible is the divinely inspired work of god. Therefore, the bible is the divinely inspired work of Jesus. Also, I am pretty sure there is a large subset of Christians who would take exception to your "Jesus isn't even in the bible until the new testament" argument and would state that the entirety of the bible is about Jesus. In fact, i believe I saw a pretty well known npub on her state that just the other day. If you are saying that only the words of Jesus matter in the bible, then why revere the bible at all...if you don't take the entirety of the bible as a whole being the divinely inspired work of god, then what is your justification for following Jesus?

No problem! @npub126n…e9ll is really nice. No experience with umbrel but hear it is a good experience as well. @npub1xnf…lpr5 is best in class. I even have my 10 year old using it for receiving his allowance.

With @npub1xnf…lpr5 you can still receive zaps without the app being open, you just have to open the app and “redeem” them within 24hrs. If you use their new cashu implementation (custodial I know) you don’t even have to do that.

If you have any tech ability at all, Coldcard (or seedsigner, or passport...not getting in the middle of that squabble). If not, Bitkey. Anyone can use a Coldcard, but the Bitkey does help normies from shooting themselves in the foot. Also, any time you are using a collaborative custody set up (Bitkey), you are giving up a bit of privacy to the other party. Trade offs all the way down.
