How did Frodo realize that Gollum was Smeagol and what does Smeagol or Gollum respond to that?
Apeuro
Frodo already knew that Gollum was Smeagol because Gandalf told him earlier in the Fellowship of the Ring. When Gollum hears his old name, he realizes who he really is and that his master Frodo is the one who takes care of him now and no longer needs "Gollum".

He leads frodo an Sam towards mordor and slowly turns frodo against Sam. Then when he falls off a cliff after a fight with frodo, we don't see his for a while until Sam and frodo are climbing up the slopes of mount doom. He then attacks them and tries to take the ring. Eventually Sam and frodo escape and are standing on the edge of the lava about to drop the ring into the volcano when gollum hits Sam on the head with a rock and then bites frodos finger off and claims the ring for himsefl, jumping around with joy. THEN frodo attacks gollum an they fight for a bit before they both fall off the edge. Frodo manages to hold onto the rock but gollum, who is holding the ring, falls into the lava and dies.

Why was Bilbo less affected by the Ring than Frodo?
The ring has a consciousness of its own. The ring knew that Frodo was going to take it to be destroyed, whereas the one ring abandoned Gollum as it knew that Gollum would never return it to Sauron. The ring used Bilbo as a carrier or a vector.

Who is Gollum and who is Smeagol?
Smeagol is nicer. In the movies Gollum love and hates the ring and shows the hate between us if there was no God to save us. On the other hand Smeagol tries to honor and serve his master frodo and tries to fight of Gollum even though they are the same person. Gollum and Smeagul show the fights we have with ourselves on good and evil or right and wrong.
At the end of The Two Towers why did Gollum turn evil again?
Gollum simply isn't trustworthy. Faramir realized the importance of destroying the Ring, especially for the safety of his beloved people. He naturally distrusted anything that might stand in the way of Frodo's quest. He did not know Gollum's history, so did not have pity on him as Frodo did. He undoubtedly saw him as a sneaky, greedy thief- which he was, of course. Unlike Faramir, I have pity on Gollum/Smeagol and consider him my 3rd favorite character. :)

Who is Tolkien's ring lover?
This question could have several answers. Sauron, Nazgul (aka ring-wraiths), Isildur, Deagol, Smeagol (aka Gollum), Bilbo, Frodo, Boromir, etc. Though it is not really the ring they love is it?
Why did Gollum kill Deagol?
(Note: Déagol was not Sméagol's brother but his friend (although considering the size of the settlement they were certainly related n some way).) Jealousy and greed. It was Smeagol's birthday, and when Déagol found the Ring of Power in the mud, Smeagol wanted it as a "birthday present". When Deagol kept the Ring instead, Smeagol murdered Déagol to get the ring. There is an ongoing subtext in the Lord of the Ring that the Ring of Power has a "mind of its own", and was striving to return to Sauron. Seen in this light, it may be that the Ring CAUSED Smeagol to murder Deagol, because Smeagol would be a "more suitable" ring-bearer for Sauron's aims.
Gollum really evil or is he just lonely The Hobbit?
No, he's not evil, not really. Gollum is only one name of his, used for the alter-ego of this once hobbit-like creature named Smeagol. Smegol is not evil at heart; he was just corrupted by the Ring of Power like so many others, from the very beginning of his part of the story. He murdered his own cousin to gain the Ring, but he didn't want to, the Ring made him do it. He was soon shunned out and away from his kind (who had nicknamed him "Gollum" for the strange noise he had begun to make in his throat.) He crawled under the Misty Mountains, away from the sun and any normal life, he began to physically and mentally change for good. All he had left was the Ring, which continued corrupting him. In his loneliness he naturally needed a friend, and in his bitterness and poisoned mind, this friend became the alter-ego who took the name 'Gollum'. Smeagol forgot his own name until Frodo called him by it. Smeagol is just lonely and corrupted by the Ring while his alter-ego is the dominating personality. Tthat alter-ego could be called evil as he thinks of nothing else but the Ring and would do anything to get it back, and manipulates Smeagol. While Smeagol equally desires to get the Ring back, but considers Frodo a friend and doesn't want to hurt him. So yes, Gollum is evil but Smeagol isn't. And as they're in the end the same person, just split in two - no, the character in question is not evil.
Why did Frodo pity Gollum?
Frodo realized how the Ring of Sauron was destroying him and his nature with less than a year of serious exposure and could empathize with a creature like Gollum who was once a Hobbit but had 500 years over which the Ring of Sauron destroyed him. Frodo's understanding of Gollum's pain derived from the Ring of Sauron is what leads to this pity.
