The Fellowship of the Ring Scene 4

Scene 4

• Then the ring is picked up by "the creature Gollum" who takes it deep into the Misty Mountains, where the ring consumes him.
• It corrupted him for five hundred years until it heard "whispers of a nameless fear" and so it abandoned him.
• But it did not intend to be picked up by a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins, who happens to stumble across it.
