A case for the true hero of “The Lord of the Rings”, Sam. The story of middle earth is full of heroic feats and brave characters facing impossible odds but one Hobbit stands above the rest and truly saved the one he loved the most, Frodo, from himself. This is an in depth study of Sam, who is immediately relatable as he dreams of being the hero of a grand adventure and in the end, fulfilling his desire. Sam is the hero of his own story and the story of middle earth.
