re: #142 windsagio

He was upper-class already. Sam was the perfect lowerclass servant.

More to the point, notice that anybody who messed with Aragorn’s divine right got FUCKED. (notably Saruman getting messed up by the palantir, and Denethor going crazy).

Denethor was just one in a long line of Stewards. As for Sam, he ends up much better off than Frodo in the end. I dunno, I’m just not seeing it like you do, I guess.
