Why does Saruman desire the Ring?

Saruman’s real intention was to permit Sauron to build up his strength, so that the One Ring would reveal itself. He later found that Sauron had more knowledge of the possible location of the One Ring than he expected, and in TA 2941, Saruman finally agreed to attack Dol Guldur.

Does Saruman want the Ring for himself?

Q: Why Did Saruman Want the One Ring for Himself? ANSWER: Saruman never came near the One Ring. He therefore could not be tempted by it like Gandalf, Aragorn, Bombadil, Galadriel, and even Samwise Gamgee were tempted.

Why does Sauron want the One Ring?

It was part of Sauron’s scheme to ensnare and enslave the users of all the rings of power and so control the Noldor of Middle-earth. Sauron planned for the domination of all of Middle-earth and he needed/wanted to control the Elves to complete this plan. This was the reason for the forging of the One Ring.

Is the One Ring really powerful?

The One Ring was forged by the Dark Lord Sauron during the Second Age to gain dominion over the free peoples of Middle-earth. He then forged the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom. Sauron intended it to be the most powerful of all Rings, able to rule and control those who wore the others.

Why is the ring evil?

The Ring, being essentially an extension of Sauron himself, was evil in nature. It seemed to possess at least a limited will of its own, and could “call out” subliminally to other people, in an attempt to get them to pick it up or possibly kill the current holder.

What happened to Saruman’s ring after Sauron died?

After the death of Sauron Saruman remained the only living maker of a Ring of Power, but because he devised his Ring according to the lore he had studied (which was the remnant of the secrets of the Elven-smiths of Eregion and such of Sauron’s teachings as had been preserved) Saruman’s ring was also subject to Sauron’s One Ring.

What are Saruman’s ambitions in The Lord of the Rings?

It shows Saruman’s ambitions to be on a level with Sauron as a controller of peoples, a maker of Rings of Power. Him actively using the Palantir and thinking he is not controlled by Sauron through it is another sign of this.

Why did Saruman call himself a ringmaker?

Calling himself a Ringmaker was Saruman’s way of making himself feel on a par, somehow, with Sauron—-and let’s not forget, Saruman did indeed plan to “assist” Sauron’s reign (with Gandalf hopefully at his side) and eventually try to gain control and influence over him.

Why did Saruman’s robes stop shimmering?

Saruman’s robes stopped shimmering in many colours as soon as the One Ring was destroyed. It is feasible that his lesser ring that he had forged had given him such powers of illusion. In an early draft, Tolkien speculated that the ring-lore had given him “Voice” but he dropped that idea.
