Legolas, one of the calmer members of the group, could resist the Ring for some time, but it still would've likely corrupted him before reaching
He knew it was not made for dwarves. The Rings of Power were made for a specific race or even for a specific person (like the One Ring Sauron made for himself, to rule all the others).
There is no evidence in the books that Gimli was at all affected by the ring. However, Gimli is a dwarf. as proven by The Hobbit, dwarves often get corrupted by their love of gold, and therefore, a ring, made of gold, which tries actively to ensnare people might break him.
No, it would have corrupted him. The thing with Hobbits is that they enjoy simplicity and don't seek out fame, power, riches, or glory. Aragorn may have ben able to resist the ring long enough to let Frodo go, but it would have corrupted him eventually.
If he'd managed to actually master the Ring, he would succeed in inspiring, rallying, and cajoling thousands into joining his army—those would didn't want to fight, the Ring would allow him to steer their wills in his direction without even realizing he's doing so.
The actor is suffering from Legolas Syndrome — where you accidentally get cast into a role that suits you far more than your real-life looks, leaving you with a tricky predicament after the wrap party. Do you A) nick all the costumes and stay in character the rest of your working life, or B)
Posted on Reddit by user applecub, the theory posits that Legolas' name slipped Frodo's mind since their introduction was brief and overshadowed by the daunting task of destroying the One Ring. By the time they reunited in Rivendell, Frodo didn't ask Legolas for his name to avoid offending him.
In fact, Bilbo's possession of the Ring in particular was characterized by pity, as he encountered Gollum and saw what he had become. The compassion he shows to Gollum by not killing him could have been a large factor in why the Ring did not corrupt him the way it did other Ring-bearers.
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.
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.
The main difference is that, in the books, they were forged after the other Rings, not before. This means that the three Elven Rings weren't imbued with Sauron's malice, making them the most powerful among the Rings of Power — and the most coveted by the Dark Lord.
The hobbits, followed by Gollum, reached Mount Doom, where Frodo was overcome by the Ring's power and claimed it for himself. At that moment, Gollum bit off his finger, taking back the Ring, but, gloating, he and the Ring fell into the fires of Mount Doom. The Ring and Sauron's power were destroyed.
That Frodo is unable to destroy the Ring when he reaches the Cracks of Doom is both inevitable and devastating. After all, poor Frodo couldn't even toss the Ring into the fire at Bag End!
As many have observed before, the interactions between Frodo and Legolas are severely limited in the trilogy even though they are allies. In fact, there's only one line that Legolas says to Frodo: “And you have my bow.”
Though Gimli officially wins the kill count at the Battle of Helm's Deep, there is an argument that, in the films anyway, Legolas is the real winner due to the sheer numbers of Uruk-hai we see him fell during the battle – including all of those upon the huge siege ladder he sends crashing to the ground with a well- ...
“You gave me a very special bow, and I look after it.” In related news, sources reveal that I “had such a crush” on Aragorn, son of Arathorn, called Elessar, the Elfstone, Dúnadan, the heir of Isildur Elendil's son of Gondor.
Gwaihir physically cannot drop the One Ring into the fires himself. The Eagles of the Valar are huge, and that's an understatement. Not only would their flight above Mount Doom cause a stir in Sauron's forces, but there is no physical way for Gwaihir to drop the One Ring precisely into the Cracks of Doom.
Arwen isn't necessarily dying because of the Ring, but now that she is mortal, she is dying through the slow decaying of time. Arwen also faces the same fate as all those in Middle Earth should the Ring Bearer fail his mission. So in that way, her fate is tied to the Ring.
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.
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.
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 several places, it is described that the three were made by the elves, and that they were untouched by Sauron. While they were subject to the One, they were not made by Sauron to dominate others. So the three did not corrupt the wearer.
His prowess with a bow was unmatched among the Fellowship and, as J.R.R. Tolkien stated himself, Legolas was “endowed with the tremendous vitality of Elvish bodies,” as well as an inability to feel terrible hurts, which made it easy for him to travel long distances over rough terrain in only light shoes.
His greatest asset would be essentially useless. Did Frodo ever talk to Legolas? Yes. In the movies: Legolas only speaks directly to Frodo once, saying "And my bow."
If thou hearest the cry of the gull on the shore, Thy heart shall then rest in the forest no more. ' I think Legolas thinks that this is foretelling his death if/when he goes to the Sea/coast. Essentially that it is saying "Legolas, you've had a long, happy life living in the forest. Beware going to the Sea.
