[Lord of Angmar]

It is my understanding that the thread-starter's intention was to discuss the possibility of a "spiritual connection" between Frodo and Sauron. While, of course, a completely unambiguous parallel can be found in that both Frodo and Sauron had and lost the Ring, the "spiritual connection" is what I was addressing in my first post. There is a connection, I guess you could say, between Frodo and Sauron in that Frodo became attached - even connected - to, a part of the essence of Sauron. I highly doubt, however, that there was any mutual understanding or bond between Frodo and Sauron, which is what a "spiritual connection" would seem to imply.
