like gollum? no.
i dont really think any of you like him. i think you pity him (i do). he is a very tragic character, and you cant help feeling sorry for him. its not his fault the ring ensnared him. so he was weak, but does it really matter? he was a carefree hobbit, how could he possibly defy the ring.
i think everybody actually pities him, because he didnt want to be the villain, he just had to turn out that way. tolkien sure was a genius to make us all think and think and think about all his work. gollum was one of his masterpieces
