Was Gollum weak or evil?

Possessed

Basically in the grip of a serious addiction.

Weak

yes. Corrupted by an addiction. A nasty business.

Both.

Susceptible.

Both

Initially not a nice character he strangled his friend before the ring really influenced him then he was corrupted by the ting and his evil desires and crippled by his fear and obsession

True

Neither. He was contaminated and slowly poisoned by close proximity to a toxic substance.

Both.

Maybe the strangling was because he was extremely susceptible to the ring and it immediately influenced him.

Or he could've just been a bad egg.

Need to hear from his friends and relations before it happened.

Ha ha 😂 yes!

A too far gone addict who became addicted without knowing the risks and whose addiction caused permanent damage meaning it couldn't be overcome. He's to be pitied but ultimately had to be stopped from hurting others. The question of the ring's involvement in the murder of Deagle is an interesting one, did it choose Smeagle of the two of them because it knew he was more susceptible? Or because it sensed a dark streak? Or did Smeagle just want it?

That's Sméagol to you!

Ha ha, my bad. Apologies 😂
