Pittiable and deserved to die

Even though I dont pity Gollum THAT much I think that pittiable fits him pretty close.You cant say that he was'nt pittiable because...everyone...pitied...him.
Gollum was complex so he cant be pittiable? Okey Dokey but I'd like to point something out the pittiable part of Gollum was part of his complexity as was his hatred of Sam,Aragron and the elves,as a fact all the characters were complex and their characteristics were part of their complexity.
I cant help hating Gollum,but I cant help pittying him and the two combined makes the experience of reading LOTR more interesting,same with the other characters, their combined bravery,obedience and honesty makes LOTR worth reading.
