Скачать или смотреть When Tom Bombadil Resisted the One Ring | LOTR LORE

Fellow travelers! This one has been bugging me for months. Everyone talks about how the One Ring corrupted kings and heroes, drove Boromir to madness, and even tempted Gandalf and Galadriel. But when Frodo put it on Tom Bombadil's finger, absolutely nothing happened. He just laughed, made it disappear, and tossed it around like a toy.
Most people write this off as Tom being some kind of nature spirit or comic relief, but there's so much more going on here. Hidden in Tolkien's deeper writings about the nature of power and corruption is a profound explanation for why Tom represents something completely unique in Middle-earth.
We're diving into ten interconnected reasons why Tom Bombadil stands as the one being that corruption literally cannot touch. From his existence outside the Song of Creation to his role as Middle-earth's spiritual immune system, this isn't just about one character but about what true immunity to evil actually looks like.
