[YET ANOTHER] GREAT LOTR ESSAY

Juz finished reading a great essay on LoTR entitle "How Tolkien Means" by Orson Scott Card from the book Meditations on Middle Earth... Really gives me a new perspective on the story... Why not Sam as protagonist instead of Frodo?
Sam appears in the story almost as much as Frodo, and even has an entire chapter dedicated to him - The Choices of Master Samwise. It really matter who u feel the protagonist is, for in the end, the ending from a character's perspective is sad, while the other perspective is more happier... Wow... Talk about great essays!
