Green Lantern: why does the ring have to be on the right hand?
I'm drawing a picture of Green Lantern with his left arm extended forward and hand spread out so as to show his ring. Partway through the drawing I had an inkling the ring was on the wrong hand and it is, turns out Sinestro wears his on the left and that's how it goes.
It's too late to correct the drawing (aside from the part in the hair) but I suppose once I scan it in I will flip it around. I would like to know why exactly must the ring be on the right hand? Is there a particular reason for this? Does the ring not work in the left hand or something? Is it just law that it must be so and is respected as such? I'm willing to of course correct it as this is what cannon seems to dictate but would like to wholly justify this change and know the supposed reason.
I'm not an expert on Green Lanterns, but there's nothing in the description of the power ring that says it needs to be on the right hand. I would guess that the individual user could use it on whichever hand they prefer, since its power comes from the will of the user.
All the art I found shows Sinestro wearing his yellow ring on his left hand - perhaps he's just left-handed. Or perhaps this is supposed to reach you on a subconscious level - tapping into the archaic beliefs that there is something wrong or evil about left-handed people.
Interesting fact - Sinestra is a Latin word meaning "left" - from which we derive the word "sinister", and of course Sinestro's name...In Portuguese, the most common word for left-handed person, canhoto, was once used to identify the devil, and in ancient China, the left has been the "bad" side.
Of course, "right" is a synonym for correctness, and therefore justice and all things good...Being right-handed has also historically been thought of as being skillful: the Latin word for right-handed is dexter, as in dexterity;
