  Who best to exemplify the ring of power’s vast evil but one of the creatures it had most consumed? Gollum, the former Hobbit Smeagol, was the living example of how extreme desire and greed for the ring could transform a creature into something despicable and vile. While fishing, his companion finds the One Ring of power, and Smeagol killed him in order to get it for himself. Since then, possessing the ring became the only purpose for Gollum’s life, and eventually turned him into the appalling creature that he had become. His life is a cautionary tale of how greed and covetousness could seep into one’s being and how it could take full control of one’s life.
