        That is an important message of Tolkien, too! But the intrusion into Mordor highlights that the Sams of this world (the working class people) are the real heros whose contribution is crucial. In the end the war is not won by the wizards or the warriors, but by Sam’s ability to carry on under all circumstances and to draw Frodo with him.
