Did Saruman Believe He Could Master The One Ring? Surely, as his "specialty" and area of study was ring-lore, he, perhaps moreso than anyone else, would have nowledge of the ring's abilty to bend the will of its user to its master... Did Saruman realize this, in his pursuit of the Ring? Or, was he arrogant enough to believe that he could bend the Ring's will to is own?

Or, a third alternative: Did Saruman intend to "dissect" the Ring in order to use the knowledge of it to forge a new ring of his own creation?
