They were close to him, and knew that something was afoot, but not knowing what that was, they had Sam spy on him. (In the book)

In the movies, they knew because Sam was roped into it without a choice by Gandalf, and Merry and Pipin knew only beause they ran into him, and desired to help when the saw that danger was following him.

Sam has been "spying" on Frodo and Gandalf as they planned Frodo's departure and telling Merry and Pippin about those plans. However that supply of information stopped after Gandalf caught Sam listening in.

How did Gandalf punish sam for evesdropping in the fellwship of the ring?

He made him leave the Shire with Frodo.


What makes sam go after Frodo?

Sam is Frodo's gardener. But just because Sam works for Frodo doesn't mean that they cant be friends. It is more than just a master-servant thing. And the friendship becomes the most essential element and by all chances, it always was. The friend's love they share is so intense and deep it has made people twist them into something they're not. They are not lovers in a romantic nature and they are not homosexual couple.Sam looks up to Frodo as a master, usually calling him "Mr. Frodo", but definitely takes him more essentially as a close friend, also calling him simply "Frodo". Sam is Frodo's ultimate loyal servant and friend, who always puts Frodo's needs ahead of his own. He never leaves his side and risks dying in order to keep it so, forgives and forgets Frodo's mistakes and hurful words that he does/says because of the Ring, and he lays down his life for Frodo; fighting Shelob in order to protect Frodo, and even follows the orcs to save Frodo even while thinking he's dead. In fact he in the first place promised to return to his body never to depart. And he carries Frodo when Frodo can't go on. ("I can't carry it for you but I can carry you!") One simple line between Faramir and Sam put part of the essence well; Faramir: "And who's he? Your bodyguard?" Sam: "His gardener."Frodo from time to time addresses Sam with "my dear Sam", which implies he does think of Sam as his; his gardener and his close friend, whome he highly appreciates, literally letting him know he knows he wouldn't have got far without Sam and repeatedly telling Sam anyway that he's glad Sam's with him. And the friend's love comes up best with him gently kissing Sam's forehead in the Grey Havens, and comforting and encouraging Sam to go on even without him by his side because it was best for Sam; "My dear Sam. You can not always be torn in two. You must be one and whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to see and to do. Your part in the tale will go on."Their friendship deepens throughout their trials and troubles on their journey together alone, to destroy the Ring of Power. The journey developes their relationship into that of brothers.Elijah Wood - (the actor who played Frodo in Peter Jackson's live action film trilogy of The Lord of the Rings) - has analyzed on Frodo and Sam;"It is a deep relationship, and difficult to describe. In one way it is a master/servant relationship, because Sam comes from a different class and wants to serve Frodo and be there for him because he is very, very loyal. But more than anything, they are best friends. Despite all of the efforts of wizards and warriors, it is this one friendship that eventually enables Frodo to carry out his quest. Quite simply it is love. it is that unconditional love that says, regardless of what you do or where you go, I will always be there for you."Sean Astin - (the actor who played Sam in the same movie trilogy) - on Frodo and Sam;"...they don't need to talk about what they are to each other, they just are."A fan;"Sam and Frodo passed through hell together and any sense that the Gaffer had drilled into Sam about his 'place' burned away in that purifying fire as Frodo became not Sam's master, but more best friend, brother and even child. Sam recognized fully that his 'place' was at Frodo's side, that they were no longer servant and master, but closer than blood brothers, sharing the same heart and soul.I think it's wonderful that their story can be called a love story - what else could it be called? Yes, they are "more than friends" as the slashers love to say, but not the way they mean it. They are brothers, not lovers. The intensity of their love is the love that men sometimes form in combat, so strong that it even surpasses the love of women and anything else. One fan story I read has Sam never marrying, but devoting his life to taking care of his Frodo. Frodo never went West because he couldn't bear to part from Sam. He still had his anniversary illnesses, but he knew he was loved and he was going to slowly heal that way. Oh, to be loved that much, to be the center of someone's universe like that!"

What is the climax of The Lord of the Rings?

The hobbits go back to the Shire, and Sam marries Rosie and they have 2 kids. Then the elves (apart from Arwen) leave for the undying lands, and Bilbo, Frodo and Gandalf go with them. Aragorn and Arwen are married and King and Queen of Gondor.


What happens after The Return of the King?

In the book, the Hobbits return to the shire to find that it has been conquered by Saruman the wizard and his men. They proceeed to organize the hobbits and liberate the Shire. Sam marries his girlfriend Rose and becomes Mayor of the Shire; Merry and Pippin also community leaders.

Why didn't Sam leave with Frodo?

Sam would sail westward many years later, because he bore the Ring for a brief time. This is not shown in the film, nor is it in the main narrative of the novel. He did not leave with Frodo initially because he still had much to live for, whereas Frodo was too weak and could not find proper healing in Middle-earth.

Who is the best guy in Lord of the Rings conquest?

Well, this is a very debatable and subjective topic. Since Frodo is the ring bearer and seems to be unaffected the most by the will of the ring (maybe other than Sam), one could say that he is the most important person in the quest to destroy the ring. However, Frodo doesnt have the the ability to complete the task himself and requires the aid of others on a regular basis. This being said, the "best guy" in Lord of the Rings would probably be the one who kills the most and helps Frodo the most. So to determine the "best guy" in Lord of the Rings, we have to evaluate what each character does in the story. Here are some conclusions one could draw about the best characters:Glorfindel: Although he is left out of the movies (replaced by Arwen), he saves Frodo from a certain death when he is struck by the Morgul blade on Weathertop.Aragorn: Saves Frodo indirectly and directly a few times from when Frodo reaches the Prancing Pony to the destruction of the ring. Also, he kills a lot of people.Legolas: He kills a lot of people as well and is an asset to the Fellowship of the Ring. Without him, the company could be dead.Gandalf: Brings Frodo the news that he must leave the Shire. If he had not, he would have been killed before he even left his house because the ring-wraiths were given "shire" and "Baggins" from Gollum when he was tortured. Additionally, he sacrifices himself for the benefit of the Fellowship at Bridge of Khazad-dûm, saves almost all of surviving Rohan and a few members of the Fellowship at Helms Deep, and saves Merry and Pippin from being killed by the ents. If that's not enough, he does a lot of killing.These are only a few people who could be labeled as the best guy in the series. To get your own answer, read the books. It's well worth your time.

How much time passes between each of the books?

Bilbo was born on September 22, 2890, and Frodo was born on September 22, 2968. The story opens just a few days before the party that was on September 22, 3001. On the day of the party Frodo turns 33 and Bilbo turns 111. It is mentioned that when Frodo leaves the Shire, he was the same age as Bilbo when he left on his adventure which is 50. Frodo left the Shire on September 23, 3018, so that is 17 years and a few days.From the time Frodo leaves the Shire with the One Ring to the time the Hobbits return, just over a year passes. The Battle of Bywater was on November 3, 3019.From that time to the time Frodo, Bilbo, Gandalf and the last protectors of Middle-earth leave the Grey Havens on September 29, 3021 is almost 2 years.So from the very beginning to the very end, just over 20 years elapse.
