Frodo - A Possible New Dark Lord?
At a decisive point at the end of the Quest Frodo does finally come to grief and loses his vain struggle against the evil of the Ring. Now to the question.
Do You think that Frodo actually could become a new Dark Lord? Glad to know your views on this? |

Difficult to say, but I think not. I reckon he could end up utterly corrupted by the Ring, but there was too much competition for him to become a dark lord on his own. The true master of the Ring was Sauron, and as long as he was around, I doubt Frodo would have had a change.

I remember that Tolkien says definitely not, that only a Maia (ie Sauron, Saruman or Gandalf) could control the Ring- not even Galadriel or Aragorn- but can anyone say whether this was a late development in his thinking?
IIRC he said that if Frodo had claimed the Ring at Mount Doom, he would have been strong enough that the Nazgul couldn't have simply seized him as they might have done earlier, but would have pretended to obey him until they could betray him to Sauron. The real reason, of course, is he was too short

also, whatever power is in or a part of the One, we must remember, is SAURON'S power. he put HIS OWN POWER into the Ring, so i doubt anyone else could TRULY and COMPLETELY master it.

I don't think Frodo could become a dark lord, mainly as he isn't strong enough.
I remember something about the ring giveing power acording to the wearers power... It could corrupt him but he couldn't become a dark lord if he wanted to.
