Who is your favorite bad guy in the Lord of the Rings? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Gollum is given more lines and more personality than any of the other bad guys in ME. He is interesting because he was on the border line of recovery, despite all the evil he had done. He has a personal history which rouses sympathy and a character so well crafted that he stands out among all the monsters ever created. He is the only bad creature in the LotR with which I empathise and identify.
