@JammieDodgerHeart I love lord of the rings! I adore Sam ...think he should have carried the ring all along lol but am open to suggestions as to how I may be wrong on that one 😄

@FoleysFollies Although Sam did very well in protecting Frodo. There's a reason Frodo was chosen. It's often hinted to because Frodo pent every drop of his power of will and body to get it there, and "no further." Another quote is 'Few others, possibly no others of his time, would have got so far.'
Frodo was also in possession of the ring for over a decade without knowing it, the time between the hobbit and the lord of the rings. That meant that the ring didn't have the draw or effect it did on others. This is shown throughout the movie as well, through characters like Boromir and Smeagol who were weakened by its power.
The whole premise is based on the fact that Frodo has something within him so that the effect of the ring wouldn't weaken him as much but of course he couldn't have done it without Sam! Sam's role suited him perfectly, because he is there at time's of weakness. "I Cannot carry it for you, but I can carry you" and that's exactly what his role was, he knew Frodo is the only one with the will power to carry the ring, which tells us he probably would have not had the willpower to do so for a long time too. But he knew that he is the only one that can carry Frodo. Because whilst Frodo embodies a pure goodness and willpower of the "small" folk Sam represents the kindness and love he needs to get him through 😆
