| Re: Tom Bombadil
One could say that it obeys the bearer's wishes , as the only times Frodo/Bilbo/Smegaol wore it , was when they desired to be hidden from the sight of others.
Does this then mean that if Frodo had desired other things when wearing The Ring , it would have 'granted' them? The answer to this is probably 'no' , as he surely desired the destruction of the Ringwraiths on Weathertop - and of course all The Ring did was betray him by making him even more visible to them
Does this then mean that it is The Ring itself which chooses to make the wearer invisible? - yet if this were the case , it could choose to make them visible again when it so desired - but of course this can only occur if it is removed from the finger of the one wearing it |
