Symbolic, however, is an interesting suggestion. It does seem that the Ring becomes integrated into its bearer to some extent, and the separation of bearer from Ring seems to injure them, as is often dicussed in threads about Frodo. Does this injury consist of taking a part of them away? Is the loss of a finger or hand a physical manifestation of that? Is this what you're getting at?
