Also, Gandalf is not the type of person who will kill recklessly. And he himself, good and powerful though he is, has been tempted by the Ring's power, so he can vaguely understand Gollum's misery. Gandalf is very much like Jesus, who was tempted by Satan and can understand, though not agree with, a human's lust for power and easily corruptible heart.

∙ 14y agoThe Ring of Power (the One Ring) had been in Gollum's possession for about five hundred years, and then it was stolen from him by Bilbo Baggins of the Shire.
In the best of cases, people are resentful of thieves, but the Ring was Gollum's 'precious'. The Ring had turned him away from sunlight and the wilderness, even kill his best friend for it, and as a part of its power made him love it. He was bound to the Ring, which is nigh impossible to give up willingly.
Bilbo Baggins stole this Ring from him -- though Bilbo realized the Ring had been in Gollum's possession, he chose to keep it and escape. While this thievery is understandable, Gollum's hatred for him is also quite natural.
The ring was not stolen, it was found. Bilbo later guessed that it was what Gollum had lost, but he did not take it away from Gollum, But he didn't give it back, either.

∙ 13y agoGandalf does not hate Pippin. It does not say he hates him anywhere in the book or the movies. Gandalf gets frustrated with Pippin in the beginning of the story as Pippin causes trouble and does not understand the seriousness of whats going on. by the end of the book Pippin has matured greatly and Gandalf respects him greatly

Bilbo feels pitiful about Gollum whereas the goblins and trolls want him dead

How do Merry Pippin and Sam know that Frodo has been planning to leave the shire?
They were close to him, and knew that something was afoot, but not knowing what that was, they had Sam spy on him. (In the book) In the movies, they knew because Sam was roped into it without a choice by Gandalf, and Merry and Pipin knew only beause they ran into him, and desired to help when the saw that danger was following him.

Was Gandalf an elf?
No, Sauron is. Addendum: This is explicitly stated in Rivendell. After Frodo recovers from his shoulder wound, he is greeted as "the Lord of the Ring" by Pippin. Gandalf, who is also present, immediately rebukes Pippin for using that term and states that the only lord of the ring is Sauron. Frodo might be able to resist the power of the ring, but ultimately, he could never master the One Ring.
Does Gandalf from Lord of the Rings try to protect Pippen?
Gandalf tried to protect everyone. He considered himself the steward of Middle-earth. Pippin in particular needed his help after looking in the palantir of Orthanc. By taking Pippin to Gondor he put him in the greatest citadel the enemies of Sauron had. It was also a way for Gandalf to keep an eye on him to see if there were any lasting effects of Pippin's ordeal with the stone.
Gandalf punish Pippin and Merry for stealing his fireworks?
They have to wash all the dishes at the party.
Why does Gandalf take Pippin with him to Minas tirith?
Pretty much just to keep his eyes on him. You see, Pippin looked in to the Palantiri and that made Sauron think he was the one with the ring. That was partly a good thing so Sauron wouldn't be after Frodo. But it also put Pippin in a lot of danger and Gandalf didn't want him to get captured and taken to Sauron who would've then questioned him until he found out about Frodo and his plan. Hope this helps.
What are the names of the people out of Lord of the Rings?

What is a 'fool of a took'?
A fool of a took is an insult that the wizard Gandalf uses twice the Lord of the Rings triology: once when Peregrin (Pippin) Took idly tossed a stone into a deep well in the dwarf-hewn caverns of Moria, and again, in the form "tom-fool of a took" after Pippin gazes into the Orthanc panlantir after it was hurled to the ground by Grima, the troubled servant of Gandalf's wizard colleague Sauruman. The Tooks are a family of hobbits that are regarded as being dimwitted. When Gandalf calls Pippin a "fool of a Took" he's saying in effect that Pippin is living up (or down, in this case!) to his familiy's reputation. // This has become one of the most popular quotes from the Lord of the Ring books, as a quick Google search can verify. NOTE: These are a couple of the *very* few times that Gandalf loses his temper with close friends: normally he is extremely kind-hearted and supportive - and not given to being quick tempered!! It should be noted however, that he never holds a grudge: he comforts and protects Pippin after his terrible encounter with Sauron via the seeing-stone, and in the battle of Minas Tirith defends Pippin even at risk of his own life.
