The Will of The Ring
What powers did the Ring possess that it could use itself?
We know it could shrink and expand, and fall off (or be put on) at inopportune times. Do you think that it had a will of its own, or that it was a tiny sliver of Sauron's will that was embedded in the gold along with the power he poured into it? (Scary though, that'd be, carring around the "Pocket Will of Sauron." ![]() There is also the scene in the Return of the King, where Sam sees Frodo and Gollum (on Mount Doom) in "the other world," and he hears a voice come from within a ring of fire. Is that Frodo speaking through the Ring, or the Ring speaking through Frodo? Do you think that the ring was just a "programmed" device, kind of like a pager that could be told to ring remotely, or do you think it had a will of its own at least somewhat separate from Sauron? If it did, it would have to be weak, I think. |
