lord of the rings evil gollum quotes book

Bilbo Baggins found the Ring and took it for his own, and Gollum afterwards pursued it for the rest of his life. Centuries of the Ring's influence twisted Gollum's body and mind, and, by the time of the novels, he 'loved and hated, as he loved and hated himself.' Throughout the story, Gollum was torn between his lust for the Ring and his desire to be free of it. Gollum referred to the Ring as 'my precious' or 'precious', and it extended his life far beyond natural limits. In The Lord of the Rings it is stated that he was originally known as Sméagol, corrupted by the One Ring, and later named Gollum after his habit of making 'a horrible swallowing noise in his throat'.Sméagol obtained the Ring by murdering his relative Déagol, who found it in the River Anduin. Gollum was a Stoor Hobbit of the River-folk who lived near the Gladden Fields.

He was introduced in the 1937 fantasy novel The Hobbit, and became important in its sequel, The Lord of the Rings. Wikipedia Rate this definition: 0.0 / 0 votes
