As I've stated in the 'other thread' that our caretaker posted this topic into, I don't think the Ring was a character but more a force of evil, if you know what I mean. It wasn't Sauron -- Sauron was the Eye in the Black Tower; if it was, he would know what going on around the Ring and he didn't -- but it couldtained his dark power. This is why it seemed to want to go back to him, and why it was hard to give up: it changed people, injected malice into them.
