Actually, on the subject of Sam and whether or not he surrendered the Ring of his own free will, Frodo actually snatched it from him in the tower of Cirinth Ungol.

But isn't it great that Sam wound up feeling no difficulty giving Frodo the Ring? It seemed that if Frodo had asked for it back (if he hadn't been under such stern influence of the Ring already), then Sam would have felt hesitant. I wonder if Sam was sort of saved as you might say, from feeling the conflict of will at giving up the Ring. Make sense?

Also, hobbits are more resiliant, but not tougher against...you know, magic. But I don't think Shelob had any spells she was putting on him. I don't think anyone but wizards and people with power like that can do that.
