Sam the hero? YES. Bloody hell yes. I've always read Sam as the real main-character-cum-hero of the story, regardless of whatever Tolkien may have intended with him. Come to think of it, we actually see the journey to Mordor more often through Sam's eyes than through Frodo's, at least once they got beyond Bree.
