Although he was a hero maybe the strongest. Even Smeagal (or however it is spelled) is a hero in my book. I am more Argon. I left home to young and though I know the ways of the wild and many fear me I am mostly harmless. To those I take into my charge I defend to the death and will go to the deep places of the dead for them.
The second time I read the books I ended up feeling that Sam was the hero of the story, not Frodo.
Sam is my favorite, too. I was sad that his shining moment, when he returns to the Shire and kicks Saruman's minions out, their factories, etc. was cut from TLOTR movies.
I have always said the same thing i completely agree. S amwise Gamgee all the way.
I tend to afree with judee a true friend is some one woho stays with you through thick or thin. to me that's heroisim
I also agree with Judee. Samwise Gamgee saved Frodo's life many times, which saved the day in the end.

I have to admit that I have never felt that way. While I admire Sam, he was supposed to personify what Tolkien thought of as "sturdy English yoemanry" (at least according to some of the books I read on Tolkien when I was doing school reports). Part of why he was able to do what he did was because he didn't have the imagination and intelligence to see too far beyond his own existance. Frodo, on the other hand, was "touched" by wisdom, as the Elves in the book all noticed. He also took the three wounds, knowing he was going to give up all of his future in the Shire he loved so that everyone else could have a future. Frodo has always been my definition of a true hero.
