I consider this the most profound essay of the entire series. Certainly it is what I have ever rejoiced in seeing in the relationship between Frodo Baggins and Sam Gamgee, and the most powerful draw bringing me back to rereading the books again and again for over forty-five years now. Thank you! Author Reply: Hantanyel, my dear Larner! *hugs* I recently completed a class taught by Verlyn Flieger who is one of the foremost Tolkien scholars and one of my favorites. She too is deeply moved by "the deepest and truest love story" of Frodo and Sam. I love her words. Yes, yes, yes! A fitting review for Memorial Day Weekend - thanks again. :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |
