Abstract
This thesis analyzes the power and influence of the One Ring in J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. It looks at some other prominent examples of magic rings throughout history and mythology which have influenced and inspired Tolkien, and it also explores the various ways the One Ring influences the characters of the story. The power of the one Ring is discussed through three main aspects – name, corruption, and invisibility. These aspects synergize to make the One Ring Sauron’s greatest weapon and greatest weakness. Almost every character that comes into contact with the One Ring is greatly tempted by it, which causes conflicts both in the character’s minds and on the battlefields.
