They were part of it most certainly but they were shaped by it and moved along with it. Bilbo's birthday party is an elaborate means to get the hell out but he finds himself relaxing in a seat of power after removing himself from the shire.<br /><br />Sam shows himself to be the most noble of all the hobbits in his actions during his part as a member of the fellowship and is perhaps the greatest hero of the tale. But he finds that place beside his master and some of the greatest in Middle-Earth, he follows a path of duty not reckless wandering and self-serving.JDJarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691101939920824546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-57333190492068836382011-09-10T15:35:37.785-04:002011-09-10T15:35:37.785-04:00"The hobbit's[sic][0] were the only main ..."The hobbit's[sic][0] were the only main characters in LotR that weren't nobles"<br /><br />AIR, even then they weren't exactly nobodies and other than Sam[1] were only not nobility because the hobbits didn't have nobility.<br /><br /><br />[0] A greengrocer's apostrophe, really?<br /><br />[1] Even he would be 'of a noble household' if the hobbits had noble households.Chakat Firepawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02002352879959672258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-62757109756204734812011-09-08T09:19:51.567-04:002011-09-08T09:19:51.567-04:00Or a place next to a soon to be king of a soon to ...Or a place next to a soon to be king of a soon to be conquered new land.aka Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840169407835436058noreply@blogger.com
