The Ring of Power: Temptation. Only the humble Christian (Hobbit) can withstand the temptation. The lords and kings cannot.

But Frodo succumbed to temptation, as all Christians do. Were we able to resist temptation, then Christ would not have needed to come into this world to rescue us from sin.

Tolkien specifically rejected all analogies to his work. I believe that is a wise course to take w/ his fiction.
