I would say his greatest weakness was his underestimating the goodness and strength of his enemies, as you touched on when speaking of the fact that he couldn't fathom the idea that someone would actually choose and make the effort to destroy the ring rather than actually using it against him. If he had simply thought of this, he would have put a significant guard at Mt. Doom to prevent this from happening and would have been successful.

Mount Doom would've been gaurded by all manner of dark beasts and soldiers had I been Sauron. Imagine if he was able to convince Smaug (had Smaug not died) to gaurd the Crack of Doom and kept a couple of Nazgul there as well, the Ring would've never been destroyed. I know, the point was he was too confident and that message is on point. You have to ask yourself, "How wise was Sauron if a Hobbit and a mad creature caused the Ring to be destroyed?" In my eyes overconfidence makes you foolish in whole. To his credit however, no one did willingly destroy the Ring, it was a mistake. So he was right about that, no one could willingly destroy it, especially at the epicenter of its power in the Mountain.

Great video! I think it’s purely his arrogance. It’s been the downfall of many evil character including outside Tolkien’s universe. However, I like to think, before Frodo claimed the ring, and Sauron emptied his lands, he did so out of fear. If he really thought Aragorn had the ring, why wouldn’t he let it corrupt him? Just like his arrogance think it would. Or did he truly believe Aragorn could resist the ring and use it against Sauron? I think fear set in way before he was aware of Frodo. Yet again another great video and would definitely love to see that video if Aule’s pupils!

The Ring itself! During the events of LOTR, literally destroying the Ring was the only possibility his opponents had to win the war. Without the Ring Sauron would have crushed them at the Morannon. Tolkien has written something about that, adding that Sauron just squandered his power to the Ring like Morgoth did with Earth (Morgoth's Ring), and that both the Dark Lords became bound to their rings like Balrogs (and they too) with their bodies. Plus, Tolkien clearly stated in a letter that Sauron had too hubris and was overconfident (this is also the main reason that led him to lose against the Last Alliance).

I think as you pointed out a lack of foresight about his plans was one of Sauron's greatest weaknesses. The One Ring was both a brilliant idea for gaining domination, and ensuring that his spirit would live on regardless of a destruction of his physical body. In that respect it's kind of similar to Voldemort's horcruxes in Harry Potter. The downside being this would only work for Sauron so long as the One Ring didn't either come into the hands of someone actually able to turn it's power against him, or wasn't destroyed. In that sense the One Ring was both one of Sauron's most brilliant ideas, and one of the greatest liabilities he ended up creating for himself.

Sauron couldn't imagine anyone willingly destroying the ring. Part of that was a lack of understanding of other people and the assumption they all wanted power and some of it was understanding the ring. The second is important because in the end he was right. The strength of men failed when they tried to destroy it, and in the end Frodo didn't destroy the ring willingly either. But even if he was right, had he just left a few guards he probably would have won.

I think with Aule, it's a reflection of his act to create independent life, the Dwarf Lords. This trait, is repeated by Sauron and Saruman who sought to create new forms of life-Orcs and Uruk Kai independent of the designs of Illuvatar. We also see the desire to use middle earth to gain mastery through heavy industry, metal work, deforestation etc. The servants of Aule do not see the inherent good in Eru's creation in and of itself, seeking to add to or change in a way that was never meant to be.

His weakness is the origin of his fall… he was driven for efficient order. He became so focused in it he began to justify trying to dominate other life forms in order to more efficiently, well, order, and eliminate disharmony. It was probably originally rooted in compassion, but that Hyperfocus led to him losing compassion and even creating greater disharmony. By trying to see everything like a machine, and make things into a well oiled machine, he underestimated outliers and the messy humanity of individuals… such as the Hobbits, and Gollum.

I've never seen any evidence at all that Sauron displayed a love for efficient order. Everything is just destruction and ruin. If he wanted efficiency and order he wouldn't use orcs who are anarchic in outlook and display no harmony even within their own ranks. One has only to observe the forced march from Emin Muil to fangorn, or the savage disagreement in minas morgul to see that. Any leader or ruler wants servants who buy into their values. In my opinion, orcs reflect the values of their master No, like morgoth, he just wanted power for its own sake

But my headcanon is that after so much bullying by Melkor, and generally being the shyest Vala, Aule messed up the "being supportive to your Maiar" part and, like every insecure parent, his praise for them was underlined with fear and he didn't set boundaries well enough. And it led Mairon and whatever-was-Saruman-called to grow too proud. I love Aule (my favorite Vala, along with Nienna), he's just not great at raising his Maiar.

I believe that Sauron's greatest weakness was his inability to see things from any perspective other than his own greed for power. He saw the desire for power as the only important thing, and could not imagine that any other thinking being existed for any other reason than acquiring power and vanquishing others with it. So, it was literally impossible, up until his very last moments, for Sauron to believe that anyone would destroy the One Ring on purpose. He was so certain that the lust for power was so strong in all thinking creatures that the ring was entirely incapable of being destroyed, that it would enhance the power lust in anyone who claimed at as their own in such a way as to prevent its destruction. And Sauron was *almost* right. But again, I think his weakness was the belief that the ring would protect itself from destruction, no matter what. He didn't take into account the possibility of a clumsy former hobbit *accidentally* destroying it, even though that creature had claimed it as his own centuries prior and Sauron ought to have been at least a .*little* informed as to the nature of the Gollum who claimed it. Again, that was due to Sauron's tunnel vision, he couldn't imagine a scenario in which someone claimed the ring but never used it to challenge him for control of Middle Earth. The fact that it had not been used made Sauron believe it was still lost and unclaimed, even though he should have known better. Again, because his estimation of even a corrupted hobbit made him believe that anyone who claimed the ring would inevitably be overwhelmed by power lust. Which comes back to the same weakness and inability to understand others, eh?

One additional weakness, and I believe his biggest weakness, was in thinking / believing that the Valar and Eluvatar would leave him be. That is a form of arrogance, but also a fatal misunderstanding of the love the Valar and Eluvatar have for Middle-Earth. Because if there is one theme that dominates the work of Tolkien, it is the work of Providence. Evil may prosper for a time, but it will always be destroyed through the combined efforts of brave men & women, and Providence. All modern dictators make this mistake. And one day, their misdeeds will catch up with them. As it did for Hitler (who shot himself in desperation), Mussolini (shot by his former subjects), Stalin (who died in his own piss because his minions were too scared to help him), Ghadaffi (tortured to death in a gully by his former subjects), Hussain (hanged by his formed subjects), etc, etc, and as it will soon do for Putin.

The root cause of all of Sauron's weakness is his weakening of wisdom and diminishing foresight due to his corruption in power (a dominant theme in Tolkien mythology). This weakness emerges as a negative factor that makes him make mistakes or prevents him from doing the right things. The function of the One Ring is to focus the spiritual power that exists in Sauron's potential towards dominating the wills of incarnate beings, which is the purpose for which the One Ring was made. Spiritual power potential is constant. By focusing the power, effectiveness in certain features is improved, while other features are weakened. This weakness led to his downfall.

His incredible will power took him all the way to the Sammath Nauer, to the very Cracks of Doom, but in the end Frodo was not strong enough to overcome the corrosive effects of the Ring. He chose not to destroy it and claimed it for his own, as literally anyone else would have in his place. It makes me wonder what Gandalf's original plan was.

Slightly off topic, but destroying the ring should really only weaken Sauron since he still had a physical form. I have never got the idea that if you destroy the ring you destroy him but again most of him is part of his physical form not in the ring? Making the ring in the first place would then seem to be his greatest weakness if destroying the ring will destroy Sauron. It seems too easy in theory, but Sauron therefore becomes vulnerable.

The three were under saurons influence as they used the knowledge sauron gave the elves to create them. However sauron personally did not have a direct hand in their creation, it was indirect. And because the one ring was designed to govern and control the wearers of the great rings of power which were created with the lore and knowledge he gave. What is important to note is that the elves never wore or used the three when sauron had the one ring as they immediately perceived saurons' influence once he put on the one ring and they stopped wearing the three.
