This is interesting that some people find Sam to be the most developed character in the books. Now that I think about it though, you might just be right (and if Tolkien said it himself, then you rpobably are)! I think Aragorn would come in as a close second. His character is developed in a different manner than Sam's. It is less straight forward which is only befitting (sp?) a less straight forward character.

Guinevere- Interesting comment on identifying with Sam, followed by an equally interesting comment on the lack of character development of Legolas. Contrary to most feelings of others, I've never identified with Sam. Not in the least. But I have identified with the less characterized Legolas. I'll have to think more about this.
