His thoughts on friendship are terribly moving. The little things he slips into the books really matter the most to me. Such as when Sam grabs Frodo's hand when he wakes up in Rivendell, when Frodo is sleeping on Sam's lap and Sam thinks about their friendship and says "I love him", and how when Pippin was wisked off to Gondor it was almost unbearable for him to leave Merry. Tolkien made such a point with his thoughts on friendship. I almost think he was saying if we all had at least one friend like Sam or Merry and Pippin we are truly blessed people.
