I particularly enjoyed your characterisation of Rosie, as she tries to understand the incomprehensible perils and horrors endured by Sam and Frodo, for love of them both. You write her as a strong-minded, warm Hobbit-lass, fully worthy of Sam's love.
Author Reply: I think only such a one could have won and kept the heart of one such as Sam Gamgee, and he needed such a one through what he had to look forward to, particularly when he lost Frodo at last. He'd need her caring and her gentleness and her discernment and practicality. So glad you like her as I picture her, Raksha. |
