Lord of the Rings- what a crappy title! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think people 5 years later might have some different ideas.

But it is an amazing title. It just fits really welll, and the words ring (no pun intended) nicely. It might refer to the struggle of who is the lord of the ring, or who wants it, and tries to get, which is what I thought until I read this.

BUT

I like ElanorGamgee's idea, as this could also refer to "Morgoth's Ring" and maybe even, far more obscurely, "the circles of the world". Obviously it has endless suggestios if you look at it as referring to Eru.
