Character Study: Gollum Gollum is an interesting character. Like Smaug‚ the fact that he has been living alone in a cave adds to his wicked personality as the stereotype of cave dwellers go. His magic ring has possessed him to the point that he has lost the trust of everyone‚ as well as not trusting anyone who comes near him. Although the lack of contact with anyone at all has caused him to talk to himself at all times. Even in the rare cases when he finds himself with someone else‚ as he does

Gilbert’s? What is the “riddle” mentioned in the last paragraph? As the article states: you always hurt the one you love. It’s never going to reach a perfect point whatever you do. Gilbert’s wife was suffering from Alzheimer’s‚ and it would make Gilbert feel wrong whether he chose to kill or sustain his wife’s life.

Epicurean Paradox The problem of evil‚ also known as the Riddle of Epicurus‚ states: If God is willing to prevent evil‚ but is not able to Then He is not omnipotent.
