Like all archetypal heroes, Frodo begins in an ordinary world. He lives in the Shire with family and close friends. He does not seek adventure, and he is content to sit, smoke a pipe, and tell stories. He receives his call to adventure when Gandalf shows up and asks him to carry the ring to flames of Mount Doom.

However, Sam’s courage seems to falter after he gains the ring. Once he puts it on, even though it seems to weigh heavily, he continues on, but he also learns that Frodo is alive right after coming in contact with the ring.

The ring may have held him back, knowing that he would die and that its chances of getting

Bilbo encountered Gollum in a cave located in the depths of the Misty Mountains near Goblin-town. Gollum was a Stoor Hobbit of the River-folk. He wasn’t just a test, but also an enemy of Bilbo. Gollum had a riddle battle with Bilbo, which both Bilbo and Gollum would have to solve alternatively. If Bilbo wins, Gollum would tell him the way out. Prior to that, Bilbo obtained the Ring; this Ring helps Bilbo escape from Gollum. Gollum called the Ring his “birthday present.” Gollum realizes that Bilbo stole the ring, and would get it back at any cost. Bilbo didn’t know what the ring did until he wore it, it made him invisible. Bilbo quickly escaped and found the way out. But he didn’t realize there were goblins. Bilbo also eluded them, but little he knew, the dwarves were there too. He finally reunited with the dwarves and Gandalf; they were so pleased to see he was alive. When Bilbo told his mates about how him being a young hobbit, succeeded to escape Gollum. Everyone began to praise him. The dwarves started to respect him a great deal more after he said to them that he dodged all the guards and escaped Gollum. This test showed Bilbo how

Sam can be seen as just an accomplice to Frodo, doing only what he is told to do throughout the adventure. People do not view minor characters like these as heroes in a story. However, the sidekicks of stories can be seen with as much selflessness as the main protagonist when given the right opportunity. Just like Frodo, Sam was never forced to go on this adventure with Frodo, and he does not have the ring that caused such a quest to be necessary. But out of loyalty to Frodo, Sam goes anyways. Despite the warnings given or the danger that presents itself later in their adventure, “Sam avows that he will accompany his master or no member of the fellowship will go anywhere.” (Nelson). This devotion to Frodo makes Sam a hero of his own, as Sam risks everything he has to help

Bilbo when running from the goblins gets lost and runs down to the bottom of the cave and finds a ring. He then meets gollum, a hobbit who was vilified because of the way he looked. He then challenges bilbo to a riddle contest. Whoever wins lives. Bilbo wins is lead out of the cave and meets back up with Gandalf and the party.

Sam on the other hand, is more important than just a “stepping stone” (Feathers 9). Although Sam didn’t physically destroy the ring, his actions leading up to the Ring falling with Gollum was imperative to its destruction and the end of the quest. Frodo and Sam come to the last stage of their journey. They are at the bottom of mount doom and Frodo has become too weak to make it up the mountain. Sam sees his master struggling and makes the choice to carry Frodo up the rest of the way, even if it “breaks his back” (Tolkien, Return of the King 233). He knows he can’t carry the Ring itself to its destruction, but he can carry Frodo so he can destroy it. Gollum tries to attack Sam and Frodo, but when Sam is given the chance to kill him, but he sympathizes
