This ring was considered to have the ability to allow the wearer to have immense power. It could only be controlled by Sauron and since he was evil it was generally considered to be evil. The ring that were given to men to have power also corrupted them highlighting the idea that power is considered evil. (the Nazgul were the kings who were given the 9 rings) because one ring ruled them all it was considered to much power for one person to wield and it was greatly feared that the one ring would be returned to Sauron. This clearly highlights that the lord of the rings had power as an evil idea unlike Star Wars having the concept of good and bad with Sith and

Using the fellowship introduction scene, Tolkien shows the differences between each character, showing their balance of good and evil, remarking that everyone that’s part of the fellowship is affected by the ring and that no one isn’t. As they go through each character, the idea is presented by Boromir to use the power of the ring to defeat Sauron but as they claim, “you cannot fight the enemy with his own ring without turning into an enemy”(Book 2, Chapter 2, pg 282). Tolkien provides more evidence using this opportunity that although the Fellowship has good intentions, there’s still a chance for their desire to destroy the ring and corrupt them.
