Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Lord of the Rings
The Balance of Power in the Fellowship of the Ring
J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring has many themes found on its pages, one of the most important being the concept of power and its allures to all those who live in Middle-Earth. Throughout the story, different characters are mentioned who want the Ring for themselves, for the Ring possesses a great power. As Gandalf explains to Frodo, the Ring is "far more powerful than I ever dared to think at first, so powerful that in the end it would utterly overcome anyone of mortal race who possessed it. It would possess him." The Fellowship of the Ring shows us that power -- especially great power -- has the tendency to corrupt even the most innocent of hobbits and most strong-willed of men.

The problem with this is that Mount Doom is in the very heart of Mordor, where the evil Sauron -- forger of the One Ring -- watches and waits for his creation to return to him.
