LOTR: Which Other Character Could Have Resisted The One Ring?

gamerant.com:

Throughout The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, there is a whole multitude of characters that the audience sees interacting with the One Ring of Power. One of the most gripping and dramatic things to watch in the entire franchise is seeing how the Ring takes hold of people, and how it can twist and corrupt even the bravest, most noble, and kindest of heart.

There are of course many examples of characters who have either come into contact with the Ring even briefly, or bore it themselves. The most obvious of which are the first two, from The Hobbit, namely Gollum and Bilbo. Gollum was a truly remarkable creature, for he was able to endure the Ring, and its influence for over 500 years. Although it had almost completely consumed him by the time that Bilbo found it on his quest for Erebor, he managed to stave off its evil far longer than most.

Then, there is of course Bilbo, who also experienced some of the long life that the Ring gave, and was also able to hold off against its corruption for a long time, even in the presence of a deadly dragon. Although, it could be argued that both of these characters were more easily able to resist the Ring because they were hobbits, who are good-hearted and kind natured creatures, and seem amazingly resilient to its powers, as can also be seen in the case of Samwise Gamgee, one of the only characters able to relinquish the ring once he has worn it, and of course, Frodo himself, who manages to get it all the way to Mount Doom before he gives in to its temptation.

In moving away from hobbits then, there is then the likes of Men, including Isildur, Aragorn’s forefather, Aragorn himself, and of course Boromir and Faramir of Gondor.
