Letting logic guide him rather than emotion, Sam has made up his mind to leave Frodo\u2019s body where it is and take the Ring to Mount Doom all by himself\u2026 except that he hasn\u2019t, and soon the arrival of Orcs in the passage spurs him to go back and protect his fallen master from the defilements of Sauron\u2019s servants or die valiantly in the attempt. We see the Ring find a new bearer, offer word-nerdery on a slightly less vulgar Orc insult, and discuss parallels in this chapter to H\xfarin\u2019s last stand (and Beorhtnoth\u2019s). Plus, who really put the words in Sam\u2019s mouth to invoke Elbereth?
