Part 4/8:

In "The Fellowship of the Ring," Frodo inadvertently puts on the Ring while in the Prancing Pony inn, immediately drawing Sauron's attention. The dark lord’s infamous line, "I see you," signifies that Frodo's use of the Ring sends a signal to Sauron and the Nazgûl, indicating his location. Conversely, Bilbo seems largely unaffected when using the Ring, which presents an inconsistency that Isaac aims to unpack.

Sméagol and Gollum's Experience

The video further explores the case of Sméagol, who possessed the Ring for five centuries. Over that time, he became Gollum, a being fundamentally altered both physically and psychologically by the Ring. Yet, even Gollum, despite being driven by the Ring's influence, was never sensed by Sauron while he was concealed in the Misty Mountains.
