Abstract
J. R. R. Tolkien is considered to be the father of modern fantasy literature. He paved the way for many writers by establishing a unique form of fantasy literature. His most famous works are The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, and many others that were written with the help of his son, Christopher, such as The Silmarillion, and Unfinished Tales. His works describe adventures, which often revolve around a certain quest or a magical item, such as the One Ring. Since there are many races in Middle-earth, and they all come in contact with the One Ring at some point, this paper aims to analyze how the Ring influences members of each race. The Ring is undoubtedly a corruptive item; however, the paper will show that the extent of corruption depends on the bearer himself/herself, that is, on their character and sense of morality. Tolkien’s races vary based on their personality traits and morality, which are reflected in the varying degree of the influence of the Ring and the consequences of its influence on each person. The Ring thus functions as a mirror, which reflects one’s true self back to the bearer, or even an amplifier that magnifies the bearer’s features.
