        Samwise Gamgee does everything he does only because he wants to. Nobody asked him to do it, he volunteered. His presence wasn't required by fate or prophecy, only by friendship and a concern for the future of his world. He's not a mythical hero. He's an ordinary person in deep.

        Gandalf, Sam Hermione Ford Tyrion Funny that all (except Gandalf) are the top-level secondary character. They’re given the most amount of choice compared to other secondaries while not being constrained by fate like mains.

        Sam Gamgee. At many points he even more than Frodo undertook the quest and service without compulsion when he might have turned aside. Frodo’s free choice was more limited than Sam’s and at the end the Ring overcame him
