A great joke in Literary Starbucks is Frodo bungles the drink order then Sam does it for him-and the whole store applauds Frodo. Then Sam puts out a fire in the kitchen and Frodo gets the medal.

Frodo ends up alienated, his own people never really warm to him again and he struggles to relate, his wound never truly heals, - he goes to the gray havens because he can't cope with the trauma he's been through. I like the joke but it's not reflective of the book at all.

"[Sam] sprang forward with a yell... No onslaught more fierce was ever seen in the savage world of beasts; where some desperate small creature armed with little teeth alone, will spring upon a tower of horn and hide that stands above its fallen mate." - The Two Towers, ch. 21

Oh man, sam and that spider. Great quote, great scene.

I do think Tolkien was genuinely in love with his wife, but he almost certainly had crushes on men.
