How The Bible And The Lord Of The Rings Are The Same. (Part
Two)
As we
have been “digging deeper” into the Christian meaning of the L.O.T.R series the
deeper the evil gets. In the second
movie, The Two Towers, it starts off with Gollum/Sméagol and his life
story. He really does not show up in the
first movie and he keeps to the shadows.
When Gollum has the ring (for 600 years) he is changed and turns into
something horrible, yet you still pity him even though his thirst for the ring
is unquenchable. When Frodo does not
kill him and, as I said earlier, he pities him and Gollum changes. Sam (Frodo’s companion) only sees a monster
that cannot be changed unlike Frodo who offers a helping hand. Proverbs 15:1 says, “A soft answer turns away
wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
When Frodo talked to Gollum kindly Gollum respected that and felt
wanted, but when Sam called Gollum names he tried not to show it or react to
them. Later it is part of what turns him
away from the good. With Sam being the
name caller, and all the pain that has gone on in Gollum’s life, and the “weight” of the ring you wonder how Frodo can do all this by
himself.—Smaug
