Sauron's Spirit Inside the Ring

Varda · 04-29-2002, 09:03 PM

My college roommate and I have come up with many different theories about LOTR. Her dad is a geologist, so the volcano (Mt. Doom) was always interesting. I was just thinking that since Sauron's... er.. spirit? life force? influence? was in the ring... when the ring was released into the fires of Mt. Doom, does it make sense for Sauron's power to have no more affect? Would he be incapacitated? Or was the gold of the ring simply a vessel (sp?), a thing for carrying the power of Sauron... wouldn't the power that was in the ring have spread through the mountain and through the earth?

So was Sauron ultimately dead? or after the 3rd age was over, was it possible that he was still there in other forms?
