The class system is so deep-rooted in Middle Earth that the gardener can wear the ring for hours without being corrupted and single handedly stage a jail break, and everyone still swoons over the master, who actually failed the mission.

A picture of the fellowship listing theirnsocial standing, with Samwise being the only commoner, and the caption concluding it's really only strange he didn't havevto start physically carrying people even earlier

What's the deal with the hobbits? Pippin and Frodo are cousins, why are they not the same class? And the Brandybucks are higher-ranking than the Bagginses?

Merry is a Brandybuck, they were the first ten Thains of the Shire and founded Buckland. He is the only son of the Master of Buckland. Pippin is a Took, they took over as Thains after the Brandybucks left, his father is currently the Thain of the Shire, and his father's sister is Merry's mother. Frodo is a Baggins, no title but wealthy and influential, his mother is Merry's grandfather's sister, and Bilbo' mother is the daughter of Thain Old Took.

And Sam, well, his father is a well respected gardener, and his grandfather was a roper by trade.
