"It abandoned Gollum"
|
Can't Post
|
|
I have been wondering if the moment in which the Ring decides to separate itself from Gollum as depicted in AUJ might put a new twist on the words from the FOTR prologue.
"…and the Ring of Power perceived, its time had now come." -- yes, the Ring has been awakened by the growing darkness over the world, but does it choose this particular moment to make its move because it suddenly senses nearby the power of the ancient Elvish blade? Can it sense that power, without knowing yet whether it emanates from a person or an object? And then,
"But something happened then the Ring did not intend" -- because it would be expected that such power would be from a powerful, warlike person or creature, or one wielding an object with that power, in either case, a being whose will or ambition could be corrupted by the Ring - but instead it is carried by a small, peace-loving Hobbit?
It's still consistent with the FOTR prologue, just might add another dimension to it.
Thoughts?

I don't think anyone would expect a Hobbit in general

Perhaps something else was at work?
