📖 Biography
Gollum: The Tragic Figure of Middle-earth
Gollum, originally a Stoorish Hobbit named Sméagol, is one of the most complex and tragic figures in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. His transformation began when he murdered his cousin Déagol to possess the One Ring, which he called his “Precious.” Spending nearly five centuries isolated in the Misty Mountains, the Ring’s corruption twisted his body into a wretched, gaunt creature and fractured his mind, leading to his iconic internal struggle between his original self (Sméagol) and his corrupted persona (Gollum).
Key Facts: He was a Ringbearer for nearly 500 years, lost the Ring to Bilbo Baggins, and later served as a treacherous guide for Frodo Baggins. Achievements: His unintentional 'achievement' was the ultimate destruction of the One Ring, as he fell with it into the fires of Mount Doom. Personality Traits: He is defined by obsession, addiction, cunning, and duality. The Gollum persona is malicious, self-serving, and deceitful, while the residual Sméagol is pitiful, yearning for kindness and freedom from the Ring's influence. Debate Interest: Gollum is fascinating for debates due to his moral ambiguity. He represents the destructive power of addiction and obsession, raising questions about free will, redemption, and the nature of good and evil. His final, crucial role in the Ring's destruction sparks discussions on whether his end was an act of fate, divine mercy, or a final, accidental triumph of the Ring's power.
