why was he never tempted by the ring?
He was tempted by something else
>not tempted to obsess over gold
because hes not jewish
He was, though.

He was. You weren't paying attention.
>>63501618
Everyone is tempted by the ring. Sam just doesn't make it obvious because he has a good heart.

CARRY THE LOAD
He was.
>"His thought turned to the Ring, but there was no comfort there, only dread and danger. No sooner had he come in sight of Mount Doom, burning far away, than he was aware of a change in his burden. As it drew near the great furnaces where, in the deeps of time, it had been shaped and forged, the Ring's power grew, and it became more fell, untameable except by some mighty will. As Sam stood there, even though the Ring was not on him but hanging by its chain about his neck, he felt himself enlarged, as if he were robed in a huge distorted shadow of himself, a vast and ominous threat halted upon the walls of Mordor. He felt that he had from now on only two choices: to forbear the Ring, though it would torment him; or to claim it, and challenge the Power that sat in its dark hold beyond the valley of shadows. Already the Ring tempted him, gnawing at his will and reason. Wild fantasies arose in his mind; and he saw Samwise the Strong, Hero of the Age, striding with a flaming sword across the darkened land, and armies flocking to his call as he marched to the overthrow of Barad-dur. And then all the clouds rolled away, and the white sun shone, and at his command the vale of Gorgoroth became a garden of flowers and trees and brought forth fruit. He had only to put on the Ring and claim it for his own, and all this could be.
>In that hour of trial it was his love of his master that helped most to hold him firm; but also deep down in him lived still unconquered his plain hobbit-sense: he knew in the core of his heart that he was not large enough to bear such a burden, even if such visions were not a mere cheat to betray him. The one small garden of a free gardener was all his need and due, not a garden swollen to a realm; his own hands to use, not the hands of others to command.
>'And anyway all these notions are only a trick, he said to himself."

How was this fat little hobbitses the only one to ever resist the ring?
>>63501618
he was a hobbit, Bilbo was barely tempted after having it around for a 100 years
Frodo, he wore it way more then Bilbo did and it still took months for him to be tempted
Boromir held it for seconds, and he went murderous over it for a whilte
Gandalf couldn't even bear to be near it... the more powerful you are, the quicker it corrupts you
>>63501717
Cause they don't give a shit about global power.
They just want to smoke hobbit-weed and brew ale.
>>63501618
It's quite obvious that his temptations for for Frodo far outweighed any temptations he might have had for the ring.
he was a good friend

>The more powerful you are, the quicker it corrupts you
This. Also as stated in the beginning of FOTR, it was stated 9 rings were given to the race of men b/c they have the biggest ego's and pride, hobbits rarely have either of these traits.
>>63501618
But he was

>>63501618
Because I have it.
>>63503591
Looks like you've had your fill honestly.
>>63501618
Because he only wanted Frodo's ring.
>>63501701
>nothing about hobbit wenches
confirmed for gay, Rose a beard
>>63503308
Smeagle was corrupted by it just by looking at it so that doesn't work.
>>63503591
>those fingers
MUTIE
>>63503699
smeagle wasn't quite a hobbit, he was riverfolk or some shit which is like a cross between man and hobbit
>>63503798
oh wait im wrong
>>63501618
Because he'd rather share the load than take it all on his own
>>63501618
Too busy thinking about Frodo's load.
