The Ring: If Galadriel or Gandalf had taken it? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Galadriel would indeed have succumbed to the One Ring eventually, had she claimed it. There is only one major difference had Gladriel taken it as opposed to any of the other Characters (maybe Gandalf as well). For most of the other characters (Aragorn, Boromir, etc.) it seems likey that the Mordor they created and the Sauron they became would be more or less the same as the Sauron that was already in existance. A new entity would sit on the throne of Barad-Dur, but otherwise little would change. In Galadriel, however, at leastassuming that what she said would happen was accurate (and I tend to assume thay Galadriel knows herself pretty well). you woud sort of get Mordor as approached from the other side . Instead of brooding, smothering darkness, you'd get blazing, searing light, diametrically opposite, but just as deadly.
