Gollum - Page 2

I think Gollum's desire for the ring kept him alive. He wanted it back so badly, his only goal in life was to hold his precious. That why he left the mountain to go look for it again.

Bilbo on the other hand gave the ring up which is in my eyes rather significant. Though he would long from time to time for the ring it was no longer the only purpose in his life. He had his songs, his books and and his friends. In a way I guess Bilbo was 'freed' from the ring whereas Gollum who hadn't given up the ring voluntarily was not.

I think gollum should forget about the ring and help destroy it.

Gollum should have just turned to dust but since he didn't i guess that he was still connected to it in some way or because he just needed it so much he just wasn't ready to give it up. It also says in the Hobbit that Gollum didn't use the ring very much so why did he live so long. Maybe he had some elf or dwarf blood in him! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!
Just kiddin' but an interesting tid bit is that Bilbo Baggins was the only owner of the ring who gave it up freely. Sauron had it chopped off, Isildur was killed, Deagol was killed by Smeagol, Smeagol lost it, Bilbo found it, then he gave it up, Frodo took it, Gollum bit it off Frodo, Gollum fell into firery pit and burned really into a crisp.

They have past like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow; The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning, or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning? Frodo lives
