Gollum is a fictional character in J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium, appearing in his novels “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings.” Originally known as Sméagol, he was a creature who was corrupted and twisted by the power of the One Ring. Here are some key aspects of Gollum’s character:
1. **Origins:** Gollum was originally a creature named Sméagol, a hobbit-like being who was corrupted and consumed by the One Ring’s influence after he came into possession of it.
2. **The One Ring:** Gollum’s obsession with the One Ring is a central theme. The Ring grants invisibility to its wearer, but it also corrupts and consumes those who possess it for an extended period. Gollum’s life revolves around the Ring, which he calls “my precious.”
3. **Dual Personality:** Gollum has a dual personality, with Sméagol representing the character’s original, more innocent self, and Gollum representing the corrupted, obsessed side. The two personas often converse with each other, reflecting the internal struggle within Gollum.
4. **Appearance:** Gollum is described as a wretched and emaciated creature, with large, luminous eyes and a hissing, gurgling voice. His physical appearance reflects the toll the Ring has taken on him over the centuries.
5. **Role in “The Hobbit”:** Gollum plays a crucial role in “The Hobbit” when Bilbo Baggins encounters him in the dark tunnels beneath the Misty Mountains. This encounter leads to Bilbo’s acquisition of the One Ring.
6. **Role in “The Lord of the Rings”:** Gollum’s character becomes even more significant in “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. He becomes fixated on the Ring and serves as a guide for Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee as they journey to Mount Doom to destroy the Ring.
7. **Tragic Character:** Gollum’s story is tragic, showcasing the destructive power of the Ring and the toll it takes on those who possess it. Despite his malevolent actions, there is a sense of pity for Gollum due to the torment he experiences.
8. **Film Adaptations:** Gollum is portrayed in the film adaptations directed by Peter Jackson. Actor Andy Serkis provided the voice and motion-capture performance for the character.
Gollum’s character is a memorable and complex figure in Tolkien’s works, symbolizing the corrupting influence of power and the internal struggles faced by those who come into contact with the One Ring.
