Is Gollum Truly Evil? | The Tragic Story of Smeagol | Lord of the Rings Lore

Today, we're taking a closer look at Gollum from J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy world. One of the biggest questions surrounding him is whether he is truly a villain or if his Smeagol persona presents the possibility of redemption. Join us as we explore the complex nature of Gollum's character and his potential for salvation.
