What chapter was it where Frodo tried to 💀kill Sam

[herlig9]

I remember reading it in the book long ago. The betrayal part never happend in the book (Yknow the bread scene), they both met the spider. Now as for the quarrel itself. I am unsure whether it was in the Tower where Sam saved Frodo. Or whether it was later on disguised as Orc where they quarreled and ended in a bad fight. But that they got a hold of themselves.

Forgive me but I think you have wandered into the wrong forum. 😬
The Rings of Power forum is over that-a-way ....🙄

it was in the Tower where Sam saved Frodo.

This. He didn't try to "kill" him. He'd been tortured, and thought Sam was an orc at first. He became frantic and angry only when Sam offered to continue carrying the Ring a while longer.

Update: After rereading the relevant part, I see what I should have said is that he saw Sam as an orc only when Sam offered to carry the Ring for him, not before.

There's an interesting parallel here with the earlier scene with Frodo and Boromir, and expressed in almost exactly the same words:

Boromir:

He rose and passed his hand over his eyes, dashing away the tears. 'What have I said?' he cried. 'What have I done?'

Frodo:

A mist seemed to clear from his eyes, and he passed his hand over his aching brow [. . .] 'O Sam!' cried Frodo. 'What have I said? What have I done?'

Unfortunately -- or perhaps fortunately -- Frodo wasn't there to hear Boromir regaining his senses.
