Re: OT - SPOILER - gollum discussion\'
I don't think it would have been good for Gollum if he continued to live after that point, since the addiction, and the lack of the cause would cause him much suffering.(Bilbo Baggins had some trouble giving the ring up, despite having less contact with it.)
Also, what would have Gollum contributed to the story after the War of the One Ring? Follow Frodo? Return to whence he came? Try to find a different ring?(There are more then one, each with various abilities.)
In the end, it was probably what ultimatly caused Tolkien's Pen to destroy Gollum.
