My brother says the book(s) should have been called The Ringbearer. I think The One Ring, or perhaps merely The Fellowship of the Ring would have done. But I think it has to do with each person's struggle to overcome the desire to become the Lord of the Ring. Like Gandalf said "There is only one Lord of the Ring; only one who can bend it to his power. And He does not share power." But Frodo thought himself the Lord of the Ring in the end, as did Sam imagine himself to be for a brief time; Aragorn battled the desire, Boromir caved to it for a time. I think that's the design of the title. But it DOES seem like the guy who played Sauron in the movie should get more $$$ since the title seems to refer to him! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
