Demonstrating that the ring has immense powers and can control you even in the afterlife. The ring wrath's (Black Riders) are constantly consumed with finding the ring, and can even feel its presence. However Frodo soon learns that when he puts on the ring and appears invisible to everyone else, he is still visible to the ring wrath and not only that but he sees the wrath's in human (skeletal) form instead of jut cloaked figures. It was interesting to me because it showed that (to assume and put it bluntly) junkies view themselves and fellow junkies differently than everyone else sees them or to get even deeper, people don't see junkies as people. .

             The ring starts to demonstrate its overwhelming power while Frodo tries to carry it up a mountain, he wears the ring on a chain around his neck and it becomes heavy, instead o f the weight of a ring it's like a ten pound ring. The ring itself has an agenda as well, it wants to be worn, and it wants to be found by Sauron, the dark lord that created the ring. There is even a point in time where the chain holding the ring slips of Frodo's neck, and is picked up by a human member of his fellowship, and there is a moment there where you can tell Boromir can feel the power of the ring, and it is no secret that he is of the opinion that if he took the ring back to his homeland he can use it for good. Still Boromir reluctantly hands the ring back to Frodo and the group continues on their journey. .

             As the group travel farther you see the ring start to have an emotional toll on Frodo. He is tired, and can't sleep; he loses hi appetite, and becomes extremely irritable. All easily comparable to withdrawal symptoms. He even accuses his friend, Sam, of trying to steal the ring from his when Sam offers to carry the ring for a little while to give Frodo a break. You see a lot of the same personality traits in Frodo that you saw in Bilbo in the beginning of the movie when he was facing the dilemma of leaving the ring to Frodo.
