He visualizes another version of himself – Samwise the Strong, Hero of the Age. But slowly, he gets overwhelmed with the thought of gaining unimaginable power, and become undefeatable. At first, his motive was to not let the ring get in the hands of the Orcs at Cirith Ungol.
Similarly, we also saw Sam give in to the temptation of the Ring. He succumbs to the temptation, and we see his face immediately turn evil. This exact feeling of helplessness, and the desire to grow self-sustaining, makes Boromir want to wield the ring later.Īnd we did see him attempt to snatch he ring away from Frodo. For instance, we got to see how Boromir, a proud man, expresses his country’s shortcomings in the Council of Elrond. The ring works by exploiting the weakness of a person. And finally, after a fair bit of rationalization, he was sure that it was the One Ring. He was sure that it was one of the lesser rings with great power. He first thought it can’t be a human, elf, or dwarf Ring. At Bilbos’ birthday party Gandalf saw the Ring after a long time.Īt first glance, he was unable to recognize it. He has been trying to learn its purpose for the last 14 years. Gandalf was closely inspecting the Ring on Bilbo’s hand. He later realized that it was the One Ring. In the movie, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, we saw Gandalf notice Bilbo was wearing an unusual ring. He was fully aware that the ring must not be worn, yet at some point, he developed a strong desire to do it anyways. So Frodo was stuck with having to carry the ring around, allowing the ring slowly encroach on his mind.įrom the very beginning, when Frodo received a fiery letter at his home in Bag End, he was informed about how manipulative the Ring is. In the beginning, when the Ring didn’t have much influence on his thoughts, Frodo tried to offer the ring to both Gandalf, and Galadriel. Once it finds a host, it takes over and makes that person do horrible, things.
It corrupts the most well-intended individuals. But under its unbesmirched appearance, it hides a strong and evil power that thrives by influencing others to take it up and put it in their hands. On its pure gold exterior, you won’t find any marks or wear. At plain sight, it looks like nothing more than a golden ring. The ring has a strong and evil influence over any mortal. That is because he knew the temptation to wield the Ring was too great to win over, even for the greatest wizard from Middle Earth. He denied that proposal to keep the Ring safe, and unused. When asked, he refused to help store the ring. He also expresses his fear that if he gets the ring, he might end up becoming the Dark Lord himself. Similarly, on him, the ring would grow more deadly, and fierce. His first concern was, if he takes the ring, the ring would offer him enormous and terrible power. When confronted with why he didn’t want the ring, Gandalf made two important points.
