[QUOTE="tleilaxu, post: 368242, member: 1289"] COL sez: Frodo was tempted so sorely by the Ring because he began to see and understand the true scope of the world, began to see it from the perspective of the wise and mighty. He saw there was much more beyond Bag End and the Shire. /COL The ring also gets more powerful as it gets closer to the Point of Origin (implying the will save to resist goes up ?exponentially? as you approach Orodruin) Anyway, here is one of my favorite parts (which i dearly hope makes it into the movies). It is Frodo using the power of the ring to dominate (something he could never have done earlier in the story). [i] "Down, down!" he gasped, clutching his hand to his breast, so that beneath the cover of his leather shirt he clasped the Ring. "Down, you creeping tihng, and out of my path! Your time is at an end. You cannot betray me or slay me now." Then suddenly, as before under the eaves of the Emyn Muil, Sam saw these two rivals with other vision. A crouching shape, scarcely more than the shadow of a living thing, a creature now wholly ruined and defeated, yet filled with a hideous lust and rage; [color=orange] and before it stood stern, untouchable now by pity, a figure robed in white, but at its breast it held a wheel of fire. Out of the fire spoke a commanding voice [/color]. "Begone, and trouble me no more! If you touch me ever again, you shall be cast yourself into the Fire of Doom."[/i] (Mount Doom: 922) Which as we all know is what happens. SO has Frodo cursed Gollum? I haven't read through Seps treatment of the ring but is this power that frodo demonstrates included? [/QUOTE]
