As for Sam, his resistance likely has to do with his innate goodness and loyalty. His love for Frodo helped him to overcome the pull of the Ring and his inner pureness was never fully pierced by the Ring.
Loyalty… and a special kind of loyalty, as Sam was more devoted to another person — Frodo — than himself. You would need a substantial amount of such devotion not to take the Ring for yourself. Even as it was, Frodo taking back the Ring was not easy for Sam.
Being humble, Sam never gave into the treacherous visions and temptations of the Ring, and returned it when he discovered Frodo alive in the Tower of Cirith Ungol. He and Bilbo were the only ones ever to have given up the Ring willingly, and only Sam surrendered it readily.
Sam never “took” the Ring in the sense of forcibly grabbing it from Frodo. Instead, he removed the Ring from what was apparently Frodo's dead body. Right after Sam sees Frodo paralyzed by the giant spider, Shelob, but just before the Orcs arrive on the scene.
After Sam took the Ring from Frodo when he thought he had died, Sam intended to complete the mission by himself. Though Sam briefly contemplates keeping the Ring before handing it back to Frodo in The Return of the King movie, in the book he gives it up quickly and readily.
As for Sam, his resistance likely has to do with his innate goodness and loyalty. His love for Frodo helped him to overcome the pull of the Ring and his inner pureness was never fully pierced by the Ring.
The first is that Bilbo is a hobbit, and as such, is particularly difficult to manipulate or corrupt. Hobbits have a natural resistance to the influence of the ring, because they are fully content in their simple lives and have no desires for power or war.
Sam served as Ring-bearer for a short time when Frodo was captured by orcs; his emotional strength was again demonstrated when he willingly gave the Ring back to Frodo.
Though someone could start out with good intentions, the Ring would eventually corrupt them. And that is why Gandalf can't touch it. He is afraid that if he did, it would corrupt him and make him just as bad as Sauron since Sauron put so much of himself and his evil into the One Ring.
hideously changed" by madness when he attacks Frodo. Sam does take the Ring for the right reason, to keep it out of orc hands at Cirith Ungol, but again his own weakness tempts him to keep and wield the Ring — even to challenge the Dark Lord.
Because of their intense love of the earth, the Ring does not sense hobbits as a threat, which is why they were able to be overlooked and complete the quest.
When Sam was wearing the ring, why didn't Sauron and the Nazgûl see this and come after him? Because, contrary to what Jackson depicts in his films, the Ring was not a homing beacon - outside of very specific circumstances.
Frodo and Bilbo were comfortable and well off until T.A. 3001. At this time, Bilbo threw an enormous party to celebrate his 111th birthday, and Frodo's 33rd, the date of Frodo's coming of age. At this party Bilbo gave his farewell speech, and made his long-planned "disappearance" and withdrawal from the Shire.
It's a constant reminder to Aragorn of his family history; his hesitation to take the ring from Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) is a direct result of Isildur's corruption. Although Boromir ultimately falls victim to the seductive nature of the ring, Aragorn is able to defy his family history and resist his urges.
Frodo himself called Sam “Samwise the Brave,” recognizing that his ability to continue to go on was in large part because of Sam. Without Sam's strengths and heroics, it is doubtful that Frodo would have survived and that Middle-earth would have been saved.
After a very stern warning from Gandalf, Bilbo realized that his old friend was right about the Ring's negative impact on his well-being. With Gandalf's aid and advice, Bilbo managed to give up the Ring willingly. He then departed from the Shire, and Frodo came into possession of the Ring.
While the previous 19 rings were crafted with the help of the Elves, the final ring, the 'One Ring to rule them all,' was crafted by Sauron alone; with the ability to dominate the other rings, the One Ring was made with some of Sauron's own power, in order to make it more powerful.
In the film adaptation, however, Gandalf mentions the Blue Wizards but claims he doesn't remember their names. This is actually due to a copyright issue because the names of the Blue Wizards don't appear in the trilogy. In hindsight, another good reason was that maybe adding Radagast into the story was enough.
Why Galadirel Had To Say No To The Ring. Galadriel desired her own kingdom to rule but was not willing to submit to the darkness to obtain it. Her decision meant that she would have to commit to a much more humble lifestyle but she accepted it in order to contribute to the greater good of Middle Earth.
Powers. The Ring's primary power was control of the other Rings of Power and domination of the wills of their users. The Ring also conferred power to dominate the wills of other beings whether they were wearing Rings or not—but only in proportion to the user's native capacity.
“Mister Frodo” is Sam's way of showing respect to his employer. There is no question that Sam is being respectful toward Frodo but the Shire's aristocratic hierarchy is often overlooked by readers, no doubt because Tolkien rarely mentions it.
So the answer is that he would put the Ring on his lost finger and thus restore it.
The Fellowship can't ride eagles to Mordor because of the giant, flying snake-dragon monsters ridden by One-Ring-sensing warrior kings and their half-mile-wide aura of fear.
On Kindness, Loyalty, and Quiet Valor: What We Can Learn from Samwise Gamgee, the True Hero of The Lord of the Rings. There's no shortage of heroes in the cast of Tolkien's masterwork; here's why one simple gardener stands well above the rest.
Frodo asks Gandalf to take the Ring, but the wizard refuses vehemently. With the Ring, Gandalf says, he would become too powerful, and he would inevitably be corrupted like Sauron himself. Even if Gandalf took the Ring simply for safekeeping, the temptation to use it would be too great.
