Well, in the books and movies, it makes it clear that the ring itself corrupts the wearer. So, before the wearer is corrupted, I assume yes. After, no chance. Therefore, the Ring cannot be used for good, although it might appear initially. Sam had a vision of what he could do with the power of the Ring. His friends safe, flowers in Shelob's Lair. But in the end it would corrupt him. It would corrupt those people who want to use it for achieving their ends than it would others.

ANOTHER ANSWER

No. No, it can't. The One Ring was created by Sauron in the fires of Mount Doom, for his purposes and his purposes only. It is evil. Sauron created it so that he alone could rule Middle-Earth. And in the event that it fell into another's hands, it would not change its purpose in the slightest.

The Ring has but one purpose, and one only. Sauron created it, and it is like a vent of his soul, which is evil, cruel and cold. It has no other master.

The Rings is always trying to get back to its master.

The races of Middle-Earth may seek to use it for good. And no doubt they would wield its power well - for a time. Then the Ring would take hold. It would grab the heart of the bearer like an iron fist, never to relinquish its hold. The Ring would destroy its bearer. It would corrupt their heart and betray them. This is how it attempts to get back to Sauron. It wants to be found. None can control its power but Sauron alone. Attempting to control it would be like trying to take control of the mind, heart and soul of another, more powerful being. In other words: impossible.

No, the Ring can't be used for good. This was Boromir's mistake, wasn't it? He thought it was foolish to destroy this great weapon when it could be used to turn the tide of the war. He did not understand the Ring's full power. It corrupted his own heart, and betrayed him - to his death.

That is, I think, enough said.

Was the ring Arvedui gave to the snowmen the one ring?

No. Arvedui never had possession of the One Ring. The ring he gave to the chieftan of the Lossoth was the Ring of Barahir, a precious heirloom of the Kings of Arnor. The Ring of Barahir was the ring Beren One-Hand used to summon help from the elven king Finrod Felagund. It passed on through Numenor and then to Elendil. From then the Kings of Arnor inherited it. Aragorn wore this ring throughout the Lord of the Rings. One serpent devouring, the other crowned victorious was the scultp of the ring.


Who had the rings in the Lord of the Rings?

Who made the rings in Lord of the Rings?

The one ring was forged in the fires of Mt.Doom deep within the depts of Mordor. The dark lord Saruon forged this ring in secret and poured his soul into it. He poured his will to dominate and evil into the ring. He engraved upon it (in the basic speech) "One ring to rule them all. One ring to find them. One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them." He used it to control all the other rings. The three of the elves, the nine of the men, and the seven rings of the dwarves.


In 'The Lord of the Rings' what really is the ring like why is it so powerful?

The 'One' ring had power over all the other rings "One ring to rule them all One ring to find them One ring to bring them all , and in the darkness bind them ."ANOTHER ANSWERI'm actually not sure about HOW it controls the world, but I know it does. Sauron poured his will into it, part of his soul, his malice, his evil, his will to dominate all Middle-Earth. I think the real power of the Ring is its will: it is like Sauron's evil will ten times intensified, so he can never lose. As long as he has it, he is the most powerful being under the sun. (Because he's got this evil thing with an incredibly powerful will to dominate.) When the Ring is still in existence (not destroyed), he cannot be destroyed, as it is a part of him and he is a part of it. (Sort of like the Horcruxes in Harry Potter: I hope you've read Harry Potter?) They are bound. It can only be destroyed in the fires from whence it came. Only then can Sauron be destroyed.Ahem, the full rhyme (yes, I have it memorised):Three Rings for the Elven kings, under the skySeven for the Dwarf-lords, in their halls of stoneNine for mortal men, doomed to dieAnd one for the Dark Lord, on his Dark throne,In the land of Mordor, where the Shadows lie.One Ring to rule the all, One Ring to find themOne Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness, bind themIn the land of Mordor, where the Shadows lie.Yes, I am the certified biggest LOTR fan and nerd in the universe! Taking autographs now!You have competition for that title. The ring was a mere shadow of Sauron's strength of will. It was his strength of will that made the orcs fight when they were craven to the core, before he made the ring and after. The problem was (like Melkor before him) he wasted his power on such endeavors and could never do the same again. Just like Yavanna could not remake the 2 trees after they were destroyed. They had finite powers! Peter Jackson's movies changed all the important parts of the book (all!) and cannot be used as a reference.
