Oh, I see...thanks for the clarifaction.
Probably I would say that the three major themes of LotR are:
Sacrifice
Nobility/bravery
Love (selfless)
The sacrifice is clear in that Merry and Pippin go with Frodo, Sam and how he served Frodo (that would go under love as well...though not a sexual love, imo). And there are others.
The nobility would of course be fulfilled by Aragorn (particularly his humility).
And love is basically the two wrapped up into one.
Did I do better in anwering the question?
