The Ring: From Middle-Earth to Modern History

In the JRR Tolkien classics, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the One Ring represented the embodiment of evil, control and hate.  Its presence and influence was such that some would say that the One Ring was the tenth member of the Fellowship. The ring was of a simple gold appearance without design or identity. The simple outward appearance of the One Ring is purposeful.  The simplicity was meant to hide the internal nature of the ring and to hide its real purpose. The lack of design further strengthened the Rings disdain for a cultural identity to any people in Middle-Earth. Of course, when put to fire, the real nature is revealed as the inscription magically appears on its surface.
