LOTR question

Who made the rings that were given to Men, Elves, and Dwarfs? And what do those rings do?
How was Sauron? able to make a ring to control those?
If an evil being can make such a powerful ring, why can't good create a ring to counter it?

I think becuase Good can't possibly be contained in a ring, becuase a ring of power is self severing, self containing. It is made to have power, it has the power to corrupt people and so on and so forth. Because of that you can't create a "good ring" to counter the bad ring or rings.
plus the good does counter it, just not in a ring. Think about it, the ring had a will of its own if it had a will of its own and nothing could overcome that will there is no way for the ring to be destroyed becuase the will of the ring will always win out. The ring though is destroyed, and this can only happened becuase there is another will that the ring of power couldn't control, and didn't expect to happen. Meaning the Good will in this instance overpowered the rings will meaning the ring can be destroyed. this is the deepest I can go into this stuff, but I know there are some other people who know this stuff alot better then I do.

Because he was Melkor's chief Lieutenant.
Haven't you ever read the Simillarion?

I decided to read the Hobbit and the LOTR trilogy. I'm about halfway through the Hobbit and they haven't discussed the creation of the ring.
For people who have read the entire series, does the LOTR trilogy take on a darker, more adult tone than the Hobbit? I was surprised as to how light the tone of the first half of the novel has been.
