| I am quite sure that Bilbo would understand; poor Sam! He's a gentle soul and not meant for anger--yet he can't help but have anger for his master's sake. I think that for most hobbits, and particularly for "our" hobbits, anger for another's sake would come easier and be harder to release than anger for personal wrongs. It would all be very confusing to Sam, and I think that if he could confide in anyone besides Frodo, it would be Bilbo. And I love how well you captured the Sam-voice in the letter! Beautiful job! Author Reply: Excellent! This was the first time I'd written Sam in... a year?... and I didn't have a copy of Rings on hand when I was writing it so I was afraid I was "Sam's voice" was going to turn into "self-made parody of Sam's voice" without my noticing. I'm glad that worked particularly well for you. And yes, I agree about hobbits' ire being raised more by harm to others than to themselves. Especially for Sam. | |

| Wow. Just...wow. I love Sam's caring for Frodo, as ever, and his writing to Bilbo like this. I know Bilbo will care for Frodo as he always has. :) I'm sure of it. And I don't blame Sam for being unable to forgive Gollum. I'd be hard-pressed to forgive him, too! Kaylee Author Reply: Yeah--I've never liked interpretations that leave everything nice and rosy. Learning to do the right thing is hard, and even when the head agrees the heart always takes a while to catch up. | |
