Sauron's Mistake in Lord of the Rings Explained

Sauron's mistake in Lord of the Rings was not simply arrogance: he could not imagine anyone refusing power. This video explains why the Ring, Frodo, Sam, Aragorn, Gollum, pity, and Mount Doom exposed Sauron's fatal blind spot. Sauron planned for a rival Ring-lord, not a Ring-destroyer. He expected kings, wizards, and desperate armies to use the One Ring as a weapon, because that is how he understood the world. But Tolkien's ending turns on a different kind of strength: renunciation, mercy, humility, and the refusal to become what Sauron can understand.
