Isildur
In the new movie he was portrayed as a traitor at the very end, and that he fell under the corruption of the Ring.
But didn't he just use it to try to escape? |

I haven't seen the movie, but in the books Isildur did succumb to the Ring's power in that he was unable to bring himself to destroy it. But I don't believe any mortal was capable of intentionally harming the Ring, so I can't really blame him for that. And at the end, just before his death, he began to understand more of its nature.
Quote:
He was still in posession of the Ring at that point and shows remarkable depth of character there, and the strength of his will. If he had truly been corrupted at that point, I don't think he would have had that kind of insight. He did put on the Ring as he was fleeing from the battle, but it was only to aid his escape. He did not of course, give up the Ring of his own free will, but I still don't see how he could be thought a traitor.

That's from Unfinished Tales, the section Disaster of the Gladden Fields.

Please be aware there are some people in this forum who live in remote areas who've asked us to be considerate and discuss the movie only in the movie forum.
