Multiple Personality Disorder Of Smeagol

Multiple Personality Disorder Sméagol, from the movie Lord of the Rings, is a 589 year old hobbit/creature who lives in the dark caves of the Misty Mountain where his diet mostly consists of raw fish, He is lanky, pale, malnourished, and overall very sickly looking. We know that when Sméagol first started showing symptoms of dissociative identity disorder, was when Sméagol was introduced to the “One Ring”. One day when Sméagol and his relative, Deagol, were fishing, they found the “One Ring” in the river. When Sméagol saw it for the first time, he automatically knew that he had to have it. This is also the first time that we meet Gollum. When Deagol refused to give it to him, Sméagol (acting as Gollum) strangled Deagol to death. The ring seems to have brought out the second personality. After he was shunned by his family, he went off to live in the caves by himself and his “precious” ring, until it was later stolen from him many years later.

I would diagnose him with Dissociative Identity Disorder (also known as multiple personality disorder). Dissociative Identity Disorder is when two or more personalities coexist in one person. The alternate personality usually display traits that are unusual to the original personality. Sméagol has two personalities that are very different from each other. Sméagol and Gollum. Sméagol is the nicer of the two personalities. He is shy, emotional, and he only wants to help his “master”, Frodo, with his mission to destroy the “One Ring”. Gollum is the nasty, violent personality that wants to kill Frodo and take the ring for
