Good question. I had always sort of assumed that Lothlorien was such a place of purity - and exactly the opposite of all things corrupt and evil - that the evil creatures would be repulsed by it, just as gollum was harmed by the rope from Lothlorien. While the creatures may not know of Galadriel or the fact that she had Nenya, they would still be able to feel its power and be repulsed by it. Perhaps gollum was able to enter Lothlorien because he too had been a ring-bearer. Just a thought. I'm sure that other people can probably answer with more authority. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
