I've not thought of comparing the Hobbits to the Ring like that. You could also say that Tolkien in a way contrasted the Ring to the Hobbits in a way. There are these Hobbits that don't have much particular power, but with others' help and a strong will, they get a lot done. Then there's the Ring, highly powerful, which doesn't do much other than to hamper the Hobbits by attracting evil.
