Re: Gollum and the Ring
E the bald, huh? <img src=wink.gif ALT="

TLW: I like the analogy. It fits with what I'm saying. By the time Bilbo found the Ring, Gollum was completely taken over by the black part - except I don't think the black was really him. The Ring may have taken advantage of Gollum's 'dark side', but the growth in it came directly from the Ring, not through Gollum.
Gollum finds Ring. Ring makes Gollum evil. Ring destroys Gollum's free will, as he has been overtaken by evil. Gollum goes mad. (Well, pretty much, my preciousssss. Nice juicy fisssshesss... Nasssty hobbitssssss...)
