Elrond and the ring
|
Can't Post

Hi, how would you interpret that "especially Elrond":
Of the others only Gandalf might be expected to master him being an emissary of the Powers and a creature of the same order, an immortal spirit taking a visible physical form. In the 'Mirror of Galadriel', 1381, it appears that Galadriel conceived of herself as capable of wielding the Ring and supplanting the Dark Lord. If so, so also were the other guardians of the Three, especially Elrond. But this is another matter. It was part of the essential deceit of the Ring to fill minds with imaginations of supreme power. Would he be more capable in wielding the ring than Galadriel (I canīt really believe that, cause I think that Galadriel is much more inherntly powerful than him, even if he has Maiar blood in him) or did he just believe that, more than Galadriel, because deceit of the ring? I think they both thought they had a chance in wielding the ring, but both were wrong, cause only Gandalf can master it.

Have often thought that Elrond is overlooked as a tragic figure
