Angel Shaw is a Core Features Senior Writer with Screen Rant who knows far too much about the worlds of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings.

Summary Sam Gamgee never became corrupted by Sauron's One Ring, despite much stronger Lord of the Rings characters falling to its influence. This says a great deal about Sam's character since he clearly possessed a certain quality that kept the Ring from gaining control over him. While this is true of most Hobbits, to some extent, the gentle gardener was uniquely equipped for his job to support Frodo Baggins' in his perilous journey.

Sam's Pure Heart Meant The Ring Could Not Corrupt Him Sam Was Likely Even More Resistant To The One Ring Than Frodo Sam was only Frodo's gardener at the beginning of The Lord of the Rings, and he was swept up into the Fellowship of the Ring by complete chance. He had happened to overhear Gandalf and Frodo's conspiring, leaving the wizard with no choice but to send Sam along so as not to leave any loose ends in the Shire.

Hobbits Are Naturally Less Inclined To Be Tempted By The One Ring Hobbits Were Key To The Rings Destruction All Along Sam's lack of traditional ambition was unique to his character, but he was predisposed to such traits as a Hobbit. Though halflings are believed to have evolved from Men, they lack the desire for power that the big folk commonly possess. They are described as simple folk who delight in the earth and all things that grow.

What Would've Happened If Sam Was The Fellowship's Ring-bearer? Frodo Might Not Have Been Able To Support Sam If The Tables Were Turned Close Given Sam's strength and purity of heart, there's no question that he would have been able to carry the One Ring for the long journey to Mordor without being taken over entirely by it. However, if he had been the Ring-bearer, something would have been missing—he wouldn't have had a Sam to support him.
