The Forgotten Ringbearer

[Elven Mistress]

Someone said that gollum was wholey evil. They said one reason why was because he got off to a bad start by killing Deagol. I don't think glooum was wholey evil, but he definately got off to a bad start.

I agree, i don't think Gollum was completely evil: i don't believe ANYONE is completely evil. Not even Sauron. Even the "big bad guys" have a soft spot...i mean, maybe they did all the bad things just because they needed a hug [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Well, getting back on subject, I think that if Deagol had kept the ring, the same thing would have happened to him as happened to Gollum. He may not have killed, but i believe - after a little while of having it - he would find refuge somewhere alone and turn into a Gollum creature.
