Frodo reaches this spark, reminding Gollum of his life as Sméagol. The Ring has corrupted him, but his tragedy is that he is not beyond hope - a spark of goodness survives, crippled by his gnawing obsession with the Ring. Even without the danger of being strangled in one's sleep, Gollum's constant sniveling, groveling, hissing, and talking to himself would grate on anyone's nerves. Sam finds him a singularly unpleasant travel companion, and readers agree. Corrupt and vindictive, he cheats, steals, lies, sneaks, and betrays. Characters variously describe him as "wretched," a "vile creature," a liar, a thief, and a murderer - all of which are quite true. Gollum does not receive many compliments in the text.
