I never understood how he was able to walk away like he did from the addiction of the ring and especially considering how long he had it. The only thing I can think is that like Samwise who wasn’t able to be swayed as much by the ring and mixed with Sauron’s power not being at its most potent.

Would be fascinated to learn from someone who has more knowledge than my surface level opinion though 😊

What?! Ok. So you're arguing that irony has to be some fantastic element? Jesus. Yes, a picture growing cardboard tree...I guess...would also be ironic but it can be much simpler than that. I feel like at this point, though, you're just arguing to be correct, not as part of any reasonable conversation. I think you do know what I was talking about. I made a simple, related example of basic irony and we're both correct, although yours is a little weird but that's fine.
