The ''[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings LotR]]'' example as currently written is wrong, since the description says the characters ''never'' interact.  Frodo and Sam do interact with most of the other characters; it's just that it doesn't happen till near the end of ''The Return of the King''.

Some characters who truly never meet:
* Gollum interacts with Frodo, Sam, and Faramir, and, in the back story, with Gandalf, Aragorn, and (presumably) Legolas.  Other than that none of the major characters gets to meet him.  Incidentally, he never meets any of the dwarves from ''Literature/TheHobbit'', either.
* Frodo and Sam never get to meet Denethor or Theoden.
* While Boromir and Faramir obviously know each other, they don't actually meet during the story -- except for one dream-like encounter after Boromir's death.
* Denethor and Aragorn are never seen together, since the former commits suicide before the latter's arrival at Minas Tirith.  They did know each other years earlier, since Aragorn served under Denethor's father Ecthelion.
