They kiss at least four times; another time, it's specified that they don't kiss, which has interesting implications. And when they return to the Shire,
Sam married Rosie Cotton and moved into Bag End with Frodo. The next year they had a daughter, Elanor, the first of their thirteen children. Frodo told Sam he and Bilbo would leave Middle-earth, along with Gandalf and most of the remaining High Elves, for the Undying Lands.
'Lord of the Rings' Star Confirms Frodo and Sam Are '100%' in Love.
Bilbo and Frodo were bachelors who never had any romantic relationships. Today we would probably say they were asexual, but to Tolkien, a Catholic, they were simply heterosexual males who never married and had no interest in doing so. Merry and Pippin both married and had families.
Rosie Cotton is the love interest and later wife of Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings. She was played by Sarah McLeod in the movies.
“Mister Frodo” is Sam's way of showing respect to his employer. There is no question that Sam is being respectful toward Frodo but the Shire's aristocratic hierarchy is often overlooked by readers, no doubt because Tolkien rarely mentions it.
He was fortunate enough to be adopted by Bilbo and allowed to live in Bag-end, but he too spent much of his time alone in the wake of his parent's tragic demise. Perhaps these losses and traumas that both characters have suffered prevented them from forming loving romantic relationships, for fear of losing anyone else.
Frodo is a boy's name of British origin.
Where did Frodo go at the end? Frodo goes to the Undying Lands with the elves. While the mortal human, hobbit, and dwarf characters discuss death and dying (and do plenty of it) in Lord of the Rings, the immortal elves don't talk about their end in the same manner at all.
Frodo Baggins: Frodo did not marry nor have any children. Meriadoc (Merry) Brandybuck: Merry married Estella Bolger and they had at least one son together.
Samwise Gamgee was born in 1380, making him 12 years younger than Frodo. But it's possible they looked similar in age, since the ring keeps the bearer from aging.
After his wife died in Fo. A. 61, on 22 September Sam left Bag End, and went to the Tower Hills where he was last seen by Elanor, entrusting to her the Red Book; according to her, he went to the Grey Havens to sail across the Sea and be reunited with Frodo in the Undying Lands.
Because Sam is Sam, he forgives Frodo immediately and then turns his thoughts to the journey ahead. He goes and finds clothes for Frodo and whatever food he can scrounge up, and then they get the heck outta Cirith Ungol. The Watchers aren't about to let them out, though, so Sam pulls out Galadriel's phial again.
As for Sam, his resistance likely has to do with his innate goodness and loyalty. His love for Frodo helped him to overcome the pull of the Ring and his inner pureness was never fully pierced by the Ring.
The Lord of the Rings is not usually portrayed as a love story. But that epic of magic and monsters and fraternal friendship contains many slivers of romance.
Frodo came of age as Bilbo left the Shire. Frodo inherited Bag End and Bilbo's ring. Gandalf, uncertain about the origin of the ring, warned Frodo to avoid using it and to keep it secret. Frodo kept it hidden for the next seventeen years, and it gave him the same longevity it had given Bilbo.
Frodo and Bilbo were comfortable and well off until T.A. 3001. At this time, Bilbo threw an enormous party to celebrate his 111th birthday, and Frodo's 33rd, the date of Frodo's coming of age. At this party Bilbo gave his farewell speech, and made his long-planned "disappearance" and withdrawal from the Shire.
At the end of Return of the King, when the four hobbit friends are being honored for their journey, there is a heavy tone of sadness in Frodo's aura because although he is glad there is no longer a great evil threat lurking over Middle Earth, he wishes very badly that none of this had happened.
Frodo wasn't “elf-like” but he was known as an “elf friend”. Frodo had met with elves before, originally in the company of Bilbo and later by himself. Bilbo had studied elf lore and taught it to Frodo. Frodo even knew a bit of elvish.
Sam went on to become Mayor of Michel Delving, and had a large family. As most of the Elves had sailed away, his daughter and other hobbits settled territory further west in the Tower Hills (Westmarch). Merry & Pippin had long and prosperous lives. They became leaders of the Brandybucks and Tooks, respectively.
Q: Did Bilbo Baggins Have Any Children? Did Bilbo Baggins have any children, and if so, how did he come by them? The answer is simple but surprising. ANSWER: Yes, Bilbo Baggins formally/legally adopted Frodo Baggins as his son and heir.
And Tolkein himself confirms this in his own private letters, where he makes it clear that Frodo and his friend Sam (who is also eventually granted a place in Valinor) would always be mere mortals and would eventually succumb to death even if they were to remain in The Undying Lands.
On Kindness, Loyalty, and Quiet Valor: What We Can Learn from Samwise Gamgee, the True Hero of The Lord of the Rings. There's no shortage of heroes in the cast of Tolkien's masterwork; here's why one simple gardener stands well above the rest.
Because Sam's trust is by loyalty and free will while gollum's is by order and dominance. So when they got closer to Mount Doom, Frodo tends to rely on order over loyalty by the influence of the ring.
