I’m glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee. Here at the end of all things.

"Samwise is the real hero-" "Frodo alone had the power to resist the ring-"
Neither Frodo nor Sam could have made it to Mount Doom alone, and they would have been caught if Aragorn hadn't been pitching a giant futile distraction battle in the west which wouldn't have succeeded if they hadn't recruited the Ents, Rohan, and the Dead Men of Dunharrow, Lord of the Rings doesn't *have* a hero, it has many flawed, imperfect individuals all doing what they can and knowing on its own it won't be enough, and trusting other people to do the same.
"I have found that it is the small everyday deed of ordinary folks that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love."

I truly think that the greatest of all of Samwise Gamgee's great deeds is the mortal blows to Shelob. Shelob the spawn of Ungoliant. Ungoliant who destroyed the trees in Valinor at Morgoth's bidding. This deed ranks above even Gandalf's slaying of the Balrog as far as sheer badassery goes.
Here is this little Hobbit who's spent his life gardening and just admiring elves as a thing in songs and far above him doing a deed so great that any elf lord in all the history of Arda would bow to him for it. The orcs thought there was a mighty elf warrior in the passage and they weren't too far off. Any ancient hero of elven lore would have ranked slaying the spawn of Ungoliant as one if not the greatest of his achievements.
There may be no more amazing deed of heroism in all the trilogy than this. Shelob the last descendant of the most foul of all creatures brought down by Samwise Gamgee. It's even more epic than Eowyn and Merry slaying the Witch-King for this is a remnant of a far more ancient evil. An evil that never was anything but evil. No tragic seduction by the Dark Lord here. Just the spawn of the light eating wholly evil giant spider who terrified even Morgoth.

I don't think we appreciate just how much Sam refuses to accept Frodo's self-sacrificing hero bullshit. Frodo's just like, "I must travel the road to Mordor alone in order to protect the ones I love" and Sam's just like, "You emo bitch not without me."

Do you ever think about the fact that he probably didn’t even know who he was anymore here. He didn’t remember the Shire and the only thing he saw was darkness. I still can’t believe he managed to survive. There is so much strength in him and he is the purest soul. He is so little but so big. God I love him so much.

I know the hobbits are little but the HOBBITS are LITTLE. just like you. just like me. little in the face of very big problems. little meaning easily squashed and often overlooked. little like one lit match in the vast night. sometimes little people are the only thing left fighting. sometimes the little match is what lights the bonfire. hope never dies
