- Summary:
-
"But is there a link between the Jewish Golem and Gollum? If I could establish this link it would solve a problem I have with Gollum, or, to be more precise, with his name. As a philosophist, Tolkien took meticulous care in inventing names for characters and places. Either they had to fit various languages Tolkien had created, such as Quenya and Sindarin, or they were a clear reference to mythology."--P. 15-16.
