Part 8/8:

In Gollum’s endless pursuit to reclaim the Ring, he illustrates the profound truth about power: it can enslave, warp, and destroy. The One Ring's grip on Gollum reflects a broader lesson about addiction and obsession, and the toll it takes on one's identity and longevity. Ultimately, Gollum was not merely a creature corrupted by a powerful artifact; he was a victim of forces beyond his control, trapped in an agonizing existence until fate intervened.
