Why in The Lord of the Rings, did Elrond not destroy the Ring when he had the chance...

- Tolkien connoisseurs will remember this story.
Elrond was by Isildur's side when he fought Sauron. The man who won the fight took the Ring of Power from his opponent. And Elrond recommended his friend to destroy this powerful artifact by throwing it into Orodruin.
The wise elf explained that in this way the source of the enemy's power would be destroyed, and the enemy himself would fall.
But at the last moment, the man abandoned his plans.
Elrond didn't have the ring. If he took the ring, he'd be corrupted
the ring is an allegory. that is to say often songs and stories are pointing at something that exists in the real world but its coded in a way that few will find it. Alice in wonderland does this, the story is hiding something but few are looking for it. It's a good thing no one finds it and uses it because power corrupts though i guess its inevitable.
Elrond should have pushed Isildur into the volcano
Elrond pushes, Isildur side steps and positions his hips under Elrond. Isildur executes a hip toss. Elrond is thrown into the lava and incinerated. Isildur still has the ring.
And bring himself down to Isildur's level? Besides, they were family.
i know he was the king but if i was elrond i would have been tempted to knife him in the back and throw the ring in myself and then throw esildur's into the fire and tell the people outside that... he slipped.
Putting the stress on the wrong syllable of "Isildur" is an interesting choice. You have the films, you're pulling shots from them, and they got it right -- stress on the second syllable of most three syllable words. But then you mispronounce "Sauron", and I don't know what to think, except that you ought to reread the books and the appendices.
Anyway, Elrond having the Ring in his possession, even for a moment, ran the risk of being corrupted. Consider that both Gandalf and Galadriel were tempted by the mere offer, and only barely held off the temptation. Taking the Ring from Isildur by force would, in all likelihood, have corrupted him, and killing Isildur in the process would definitely have corrupted him. He could only encourage Isildur to cast the Ring into the fire; neither he nor -- was it Cirdan? -- could have done any more.
I am pretty sure that putting on the Ring would not have hidden Isildur from Elrond's eyes. It's debatable whether he already possessed his Elven Ring -- Gil-Galad had just been killed, and Elrond might not have taken the Ring as his own just yet -- but Elrond, as a High-Elf, might have a presence in the shadow world even without his Elven Ring, just as Glorfindel does. And those in the shadow world can see each other. (Was Gandalf unable to see Bilbo when he put on the Ring, though?)
