Have you finished reading the books? I was going to go off on some Frodo/Sam meta, but I don't want to spoil you. Ah, hobbit love! What could be better?
I'm actually about to re-read the books myself. I'm currently myself working on (but it will shortly be put on hold for a year) my bachelor thesis in Japanese, were I intend to compare the difference in portrayal of characters in LoTR (between original & translation) due to the japanese role-language [役割語] present in the latter. I previously looked at the Nightrunner series, by Lynn Flewelling, and decided to go deeper with my research.

It's so awesome. So... "holy", as some say. That said, I love Tolkien's characters' relationships. They are so heartwarming!

But man do I love the original prose of Tolkien.

I'm not sure you haven't mentioned this before. So, you have read the books in Japanese? All of them!? Or just key excepts?

Eso me sonó taaaaan mal. Es como esos que te pasan el brazo por el hombro y juran que sus intenciones son completamente puras.
