Elven-Maiden has just left Hobbiton.
Ring Themes in LotR

It struck me the other day that I couldn't think of any "bad guys" who became good, but plenty of "good guys" who fell at one point or other.
  • Frodo claimed the ring for himself
  • Denethor went nuts
  • Boromir wanted the Ring

there are more, but of the antagonists, Saruman, Sauron, Wormtongue, Gollum.... all came to an unfortunate demise... The only execption I could think of as Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, but even she wasn't evil.

What are some other opinions on this?
