Have said it before and will say it again: If Frodo had actually been able to throw the Ring into the Fire by himself, that would’ve meant he was some kind of Superman. The point of Frodo is he’s NOT Superman. He’s a regular ordinary guy who volunteers to do the impossible.

March 24th - Frodo and Sam reach the foot of Mount Doom

The night seemed endless.... Sam began to wonder if a second darkness had begun and no day would ever reappear. At last he groped for Frodo's hand. It was cold and trembling. His master was shivering.

No...

... the Ring is mine.

Every time I remember this scene I feel a piece of me wither away (affectionate). I took some creative liberties to show the Rings power over Frodo, so his eyes reflect what he is seeing in his mind.

Inside me there are two wolves. One says Frodo and Sam have one of the most beautiful friendships ever portrayed in literature, a lifetime of loving devotion that, once they face down death, destruction and the end of all things in the fires of Mount doom, ignites into a deep all-encompassing passion, a love that had carried the very fate of Middle Earth. The other says they were definitely romping under every bush in the Shire long before that.

The cause of the Ring’s destruction is perhaps the most brilliant writing I’ve ever read in my life.

Most stories, your typical stories, pin it all on the hero. The main character is the main character, the chosen one who can do anything. Dorothy will kill the Witch. Superman will rescue Lois every time. Anakin will return from the Dark Side in one big burst of love and destroy the Sith. Wonder Woman will beat Ares. Iron Man will save the universe from Thanos.

It’s because of what we’re used to that we automatically expect Frodo to have his “main character moment” and triumphantly throw the Ring into the fire.

But Tolkien subverts this by actually sticking to the stakes he writes. The Ring is the creation of an immortal Dark Lord, a power far stronger than any will of a mere mortal. No one single person can willingly destroy it, and Frodo is not a superhero, but a regular, average, normal person doing his absolute best, which will still never single-handedly conquer the Ring.

Instead, the day must be saved by a domino effect.

Bilbo and Gandalf must teach pity to Frodo. Sam and Frodo must love each other. Frodo must carry the Ring. Sam must follow him. Frodo must resist the Ring all the way to Mordor. Frodo must show compassion to Gollum. Sam must save and carry his beloved master. Aragorn must trick Sauron and empty Mordor of all its defenses. Frodo must warn/curse Gollum. Sam must learn pity from Frodo. Sam, too, must spare Gollum. Frodo must use the last of his strength to bring the Ring all the way into the Cracks of Doom. And Gollum’s lust for the Ring must win the battle in his broken mind and make him disregard all caution in his effort to regain it.

Some forces really are too strong for one person to defeat them, for one direct action to be enough to be rid of them. They can only be beaten through a combination of choices and efforts made by multiple people.

"I Can Carry You"

2023

...and so Sam struggled on as best he could, having no guidance but the will to climb as high as might be before his strength gave out and his will broke.

-"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", by J.R.R. Tolkien

A scene that probably is a favorite for many; one that epitomizes more than any other the power of friendship; and in my opinion, Sam's most heroic moment.

It brings me back to the first film, when Saruman mocked Gandalf for thinking hobbits could ever contend with the will of Sauron. This scene proves that Gandalf was right, and Saruman wrong: in their own way, the willpower of hobbits IS strong enough to shake the foundations of evil itself.
