There is one thing about the ring that I haven't noticed anyone saying (maybe I just haven't read the post good enough though). When Frodo, Sam and Gollum is in Ithilien (I think) Frodo says something to Gollum about if he put the ring on, and told Gollum to choke on the fish; he would. Wouldn't also Isildur be able to put the ring on, and command Elrond to do almost anything he wanted?! The hearts of men are easily corrupted, and the ring had already started to turn Isildur evil, and since the ring had a mind of it's own it could have "told" Isildur what to do and he would have listened.<P>Hmm, this is just my theory though!<p>[ October 31, 2002: Message edited by: Laivine ]
