ResumoIn the cold, hard lands of the Emyn Muil, it is easy to lose one's way; for a hobbit like Frodo Baggins—pursued by enemies and burdened with a heavy purpose—his chance confrontation with the creature Gollum in those dread hills offered him a merciful opportunity to choose cooperation over conflict. By sparing the life of the pathetic creature, even against the advice of his friend Samwise Gamgee, Frodo managed to make common cause with his adversary, convincing Gollum to help guide them on their quest even as the creature continued to disagree with them about the One Ring. By the end of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, circumstances made those philosophical differences re-erupt into conflict, but for a time, Frodo's quest to defeat evil was aided by his enemy.
