      Ah man, don’t be mean. It’s just different strokes and all that. There’s a lot to love about Middle Earth, and some people just love different things.

        That is an important message of Tolkien, too! But the intrusion into Mordor highlights that the Sams of this world (the working class people) are the real heros whose contribution is crucial. In the end the war is not won by the wizards or the warriors, but by Sam’s ability to carry on under all circumstances and to draw Frodo with him.

            No, but yes.

            In the book, he is Gentry.

            In real life the Bourgeoisie took the role the Gentry/lower nobility had pre industrialisation.

            While Frodo is not bourgeoise, the message is about the bourgoisie.
