What would have happened if Galadriel took the One Ring? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Galadriel may have become a Dark Queen and overthrown Sauron, but she would not have destroyed him. The Ring was Sauron's anchor -- as long as it was intact, he could never be destroyed. Everything Galadriel would have done with the Ring would have been twisted to Sauron's will, because that will existed in the Ring and was stronger than Galadriel's. Though she would have been overcome gradually, she would nonetheless have been overcome. The Ring would likely then be taken from her by Sauron, and she would have been treated perhaps more cruelly than anyone before her -- unless Sauron wished to keep her unharmed as his Queen.
