I'm sorry if this is a repeat, but let's talk about Sméagol; or specifically:
- when did Gollum come into his life;
- his relationship with the aforesaid;
- any regrets for his former life; and most importantly
- would he have changed his mind at Cirith Ungol.
Now, the first one. I believe Gollum came first to his life due to a combination of factors, namely:
- the death of Déagol;
- his pariah status among his relatives; and
- his eventual exile.
Thus, he had to create for himself a new creature: one that thrives in solitude and darkness. But Gollum was too overpowering. Soon, it took over almost all of Sméagol, and became the dominant will.
So, any comments?
