The impression I get when I read the books or watch the movies is that there is no one hero. Everyone plays their part in the adventure. For example, without Sam, Frodo would not have gotten very far. Likewise, without Frodo, Sam would still be toiling in the garden and would never show his true courage. And all the other characters as well. Even Gollum is important but not exactly hero material! I like how they all have to depend on one another instead of single handedly saving the day. The best part though, in my mind, is the fact that you start to wonder if Hobbits/elves/dwarves do or did exist! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
