He doesn't belong in ME. He is an insert straight from the Mind of Tolkein into somewhere where he is not meant to be. And that’s what makes him so damn cool.

That may seem a sort of pointless point, but its not really. Look at it: The ring is funny to him, it’s just a story, its not to do with him. He doesn't care about the world around him cause it’s not his world. He is, as i say, just a random spare of the moment insert by Tolkein. He is not Arda, on the contrary, he is something very alien to it.
