OT - SPOILER - gollum discussion\'
my dad's been argueing that since gollum was still fighting the evil and it wasn't his fault the ring corrupted him, he shouldn't have died. the story could have been written so that once the ring was gone, the effect on Gollem would have gone to.
me, i don't know.

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.

Re: OT - SPOILER - gollum discussion\'
No, whether a part of the plot is wrong or right.  He died. Big deal. Lots of characters died. Should they not have died as well? |

Re: OT - SPOILER - gollum discussion\'
Gollum died to show that, ultimately, giving in to obsession (or even addiction) is destructive. Frodo almost gave in but was stopped by one more obsessed.

Re: OT - SPOILER - gollum discussion\'
If it were up to me, that little sob would have died a far worse death than what was afforded it.
