Hmm, Very interesting thread!! I like it. A real thinker.
I wonder what Melain would have been capable of if she were tempted by the One?
But I think Melain was too wise to take it had she the chance.

Galadriel wrestled with it in her heart. But she passed the test.

When they say the hearts of men are wicked, I believe they are saying the 'race' of men, and not just MEN in general.

I think IF ( and thats a pretty big if)Eowyn would try to use the ring,she would doit from a will to do good but it would only deviate evil in her.
I am not sure she would do it though, because she saw first handedly what evil advice does to a man (Theoden).

Very good thought!! I will watch this with great interest! Thank you for your time.
