Frodo ultimately decides that he must leave the Fellowship behind and
continue on his own, but Sam insists on going with him. They soon
capture Gollum and force him to act as their guide, though Sam is always
suspicious of the wretched creature. His fears are later vindicated when
Gollum leads Frodo into the lair of Shelob, a giant spider, hoping that
Frodo will be killed and he could then take the Ring.
Sam saves Frodo from Shelob, but Frodo has been stung by Shelob, and it
appears to Sam as if he is dead. Later, when Orcs approach, Sam takes
the Ring, and intends to go on alone, and complete the mission given to
Frodo. However, he overhears the Orcs talking and discovers that Frodo
isn't dead, simply paralyzed by Shelob's poison. The Orcs take Frodo to
the tower of Cirith Ungol on the western border of Mordor, Sam following
all the way. Sam rescues Frodo from the Orcs and returns the Ring to
him, and they travel toward Mount Doom once again.
Frodo grows progressively weaker under the influence of the Ring, and
Sam's help is essential in getting him through Mordor to Mount Doom,
once physically carrying him up the mountain until attacked by Gollum.
There Frodo goes on alone, as Sam fends off Gollum. After seemingly
defeating Gollum, he follows Frodo, urging him to throw the Ring into
the fire, a scene shockingly similar to that which had happened 3000
years before, when Elrond told Isildur to destroy the Ring. Frodo
decides to keep the Ring, and as he puts it on Sam is knocked out by
Gollum, who then attacks Frodo, in a desperate fight to the death over
possession of the ring. Sam watches the fight between them, until Frodo
and Gollum topple over the precipice. Sam rescues Frodo, but Gollum and
the ring perish in the volcano.
At the end, Sam returned to the Shire, and married the one that he
loved, Rosie Cotton, and they had many children: Elanor (named after the
flower in Lorien), Goldilocks, Frodo, Pippin, Merry, Hamfast, Rose, and
others. He continued to look after Frodo, particularly on the two days
of year where he always fell ill, the day on which the ring perished,
and the day on which he was pierced by the Morgul blade, until Frodo
left for Valinor. He always felt somewhat guilty for his fame in
Hobbiton, for he, Merry, and Pippin were hailed as heroes for saving the
Shire from the "Boss", "Sharkey" aka Saruman, who had taken over the
Shire. He felt Frodo deserved fame much more than he, but Frodo liked
the anonymity.
Sam was mayor of Hobbiton for many years. When Rosie died, he took a
ship to Valinor (the Undying Lands), as he was himself a ring-bearer for
a short while.
