Hmmm... I believe strongly that Tolkien intended a double meaning; that LOTR could be either Sauron or the one ring, as a way to express there intimate relationship. In the movie Gandalf says "the're one, the ring and the dark lord", but I don't think he means that litterally.

In the swedish translation the series is called literally "the master ring", but I think that translation is missing something...
