![]() ![]() My heart tells me that he has some part to play yet, for good or ill, before the end and when that comes, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many – yours not least.’ And he is bound up with the fate of the Ring. ![]() I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. With Pity.'Īnd this one (in the same conversation i think?) Be sure that he took so little hurt from the evil, and escaped in the end, because he began his ownership of the Ring so. Pity, and Mercy: not to strike without need. 'What a pity that Bilbo did not stab that vile creature, when he had a chance!' Love this exchange between Frodo and Gandalf in Moria when Frodo says he wishes Bilbo had killed Gollum: Do you think the higher powers took pity on him in the afterlife and gave him peace? I hope so. It's just such a cruel fate for a little guy. He never chose his fate it just happened and it looks like it was meant to happen in order for balance to be restored in Middle Earth in the end. I don't know I just think the more I read and the longer I dwell on it. You can also see that because of his tragic fate why Gandalf felt so sympathetic towards him. You can absolutely see why he followed the ring and felt so robbed by Bilbo. Then to be twisted and mutated by the rings colossal evil essence and turned into an unnaturally wretched creature that ate babies and dwelled under a mountain for hundreds of years eating goblins and raw fish just for the ring to betray him. Look at it from the ring's must've been desperate to poison a sentient being in order to return to its master after so long so it probably turned its malicious manipulation up to 11 and we got Gollum. ![]() Sméagol and his mate were just 2 guys fishing and having some fun when the ring chose them after thousands of years lost at the river bottom. The malicious and manipulating power of the ring cannot be understated. It can literally poison your mind even if you are in the vicinity of the ring. One thing I love about the book is just how evil and malicious the ring is portrayed to be. It wasn't his fault that the single-most evil enchanted thing came into his possession literally driving him and his beloved friend into a fight to the death. Sméagol was just a guy enjoying a fishing day out with his buddy on his birthday. But I cannot help but feel the same pity that Gandalf and Frodo felt for him. He ate babies after all, nobody is denying that. We all know Gollum is a wretched monster.
