Sam's loyal and brave and strong, but he's not good at faking friendliness, and he finds the creepy guy who tried to kill them... creepy. And he's kinda on a camping trip from hell, which is making him extra irritable.

[arcadiaego]

Disliking people who tried to kill you? What a bastard. (This is reminding of how in Loki fandom having a troubled childhood is defence for genocide. And I adore Loki.)

Guess Frodo was just made of stronger stuff that he would be willing to give Gollum a chance-- and it would have worked if not for Sam.

[(Anonymous)]

He wasn't made of stronger stuff. He had the Ring, so he could empathize with Gollum in a way Sam couldn't.

[lunabee34]

Yes!

[(Anonymous)]

Keep in mind, too, that Sam didn't get the Talk from Gandalf before--the whole "Gollum may yet have a part to play in this, he used to be a Hobbit, etc." conversation. Frodo had a perspective that Sam didn't have, so while Sam did act out of spite and jealousy towards Gollum, that doesn't necessarily mean that Frodo was absolutely made of stronger stuff, only that he had some inside knowledge.

[lunabee34]

*nods*

And also that every time Frodo looks at Gollum he thinks, "There but for the grace of God go I." He feels himself sliding down the slippery slope into becoming Gollum and hopes that someone would have empathy for him.

This exactly.

[world_eater]

Yeah. I'm sorry, lots of villains are tragic, doesn't make the heroes the bad guys.

And Gollum wasn't trustworthy. Us the viewers/readers know what's going on in his mind, but I wouldn't expect anyone to bet the fate of their best friend on some whack chance that the creepy thing has seen the light.

[(Anonymous)]

Point, and this is part of the reason I like Sam. He may have made some bad choices, but in his situation, I would have done the exact same thing wrt Gollum. Maybe I would have been quieter about it, but that's the only different.
