I believe that Gollum was on the verge of evil when Frodo and Sam first met him. (He was planning to kill them and take the ring in the beginning or the series.) But some of Smeagol was still in him. Then somehow, Sam and Frodo brought the old hobbit back into the shriveled gnome. (Sam had heard him talking to himself as though were skitzo, debating on whether he should murder the two hobbits.) But unfortunately Gollum chose to honor Shelob and hand over The Duo, in doing so continuing his quest to evil. I believe Gollum deserved his fate.
