Theoden, Eomer and Wormtounge & Frodo, Sam and Gollum
I've recently noticed a similarty between the Theoden, Wormtounge, Eomer triangle and the Frodo, Gollum, Sam triangle.
1) Gollum and Wormtounge counsel their masters against the other member of the 'triangle' 2) The masters (Frodo and Theoden) become weaker because of these evil rumors and counsels and hearken to them. 3) Because of these things the other members of the triangle (Sam and Eomer) are sent away. 4) They both return in heroic circumstances to save their masters. Anyone agree?

Good point you make there, although one could argue that Sam returned of free will and Eomer because he was "found" and tken to Helms Deep by Gandalf.

I wouldn't say that Theoden was really Wormtongue's master. Wormtongue merely wormed himself in there to fulfill his true master's comands.

I was about to say it was only in the movies Sam was sent away, but I realized that may be the reason you've put this thread unde "Movies"
