In the Books I hated Gollum with a passion. but then I watched TTT and began to feel sorry for him. Then I reread the books and discovered that Gollum actually was quite a bit like they portrayed him in the movie. In one of the letter's of Tolkein he says that Gollum would have repented if it hadn't been for Sam's mean comment. It said that he would have gone to Mount Doom with them then the ring would have taken him and Gollum would have taken it (at mount doom) and knowing that it should be destroyed would have jumped into mount doom with the ring.
