<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>3) The Ring tries to make Frodo put it on, because otherwise the Nazgul won't know it's there. (When I looked closer, Frodo wasn't holding out the Ring to offer it as I had originally thought, but was holding it in one hand, ready to plunge his other forefinger into it.)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I'm afraid I must disagree with this on sevral points.<P>#1. If you look even closer, Frodo intentionally pulls out the Ring as if to offer it, then he tries to put it on, or at least that's what the scene conveyed to me.<P>#2. Although in the books the Nazgul were pretty much blind & could vaugly 'sense' the Ring when it was put on, PJ changed that. In the movies, Aragorn says that, "At all times they feel the presence of the Ring, drawn to the power of the One...". I think that the Nazgul should've been able to sense it from that close under PJ's interpretation.
