#this guy just has so much contradictions#sam remembers being called names by his dad#but the gaffer is also very amiable#and clearly protective of sam and frodo since he sent the nazgul in the wrong direction#he always calls him ‘my sam’ which sounds loving to me#he did teach sam all he knows about gardening#he discouraged sam’s interests in elves but that may be because he’s conventional#he also doesn’t mind that sam has learned to read#but when sam first returns after a year the gaffer makes a fuss#about his WAISTCOAT being gone#of all things#so it’s sometimes hard to know what to make of this guy#lotr#jrr tolkien#lotr books#lord of the rings#hobbits#samwise gamgee#gaffer gamgee#third age#the shire#lotr poll#the gaffer#hamfast gamgee#gaffer#sam gamgee#lotr samwise#tolkien legendarium#he also drills into sam’s head the idea that he is inferior because of their class#and the bagginses are ‘his betters’
