[Earendil evening star]

I kinda pity gollum more than anything.
When he was Smeagol and he killed his friend could it not have been the power of the ring making him do that as it wanted to be found. Or maybe he was already kinda evil inside when he was Smeagol because the ring could maybe hve been content with deagol. However, when Gollum is being scitzophrenic(i don't know if i've spelt that right) in TTT, Sam dislikes the Smeagol side too even though he is supposed to be the kind of "good" gollum and i personally trust Sam's judgement.
The thing i actually kind of admire about Gollum is in TTT when he actually keeps to the promise he made on the ring (even though he almost breaks a few times). For this reason i would have to say that i like him more than Wormtongue who I think is the most dispicable character in the novel.
What about everyone else?
luv
