Absolutely! Just look at The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Ring brings greed upon people; they yearn for it and long for it, and are willing to do literally anything to get their hands on it. Tolkien shows us how horrible greed can be, and how it can brutally twist people, sometimes out of their minds (just look at Gollum!).

What does the Ring represent in The Lord of the Rings?

temptation or the devil. Though Tolkien was very religious he left all of our modern concepts of religion out of his books. It wasn't temptation, it was domination. And the devil was not invented until after the time that Tolkien's mythology was in play. He wanted to create a mythology that could be considered the UK's own, minus what France did to it after the battle of Hastings. So if you consider that Morgoth was the mightiest but was consumed by pride and hate it could be seen as a pre-myth(?) to our modern stories of satan. Just like many other stories have been taken from the past and adapted for another's use.
