Gollum and The One Ring

[Arathiriel]

For me, it adds to the suspense that Gollum was "wrestling an unseen foe", because I want Gollum to "win" and get that dratted thing off of Frodo.

Indeed for me as well because my heart sunk when Frodo said:

'I have come,' he said. 'But I do not choose now to do what I came to do. I will not do this deed. The Ring is mine!'

I was like "Nooooo, Frodo, no! The Ring has to be destroyed!" Little did I realize that it would be ultimately Gollum who destroyed the Ring along with himself!

And when it was finally destroyed, I had to read and reread that one paragraph 3 or 4 times to understand that the Ring as well as Gollum was no more in ME... [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
