Frodo identifies with Gollum because Gollum knows what it's like to be addicted to the ring like what Frodo is suffering with. the ring is an allegory for drug addiction.

I don't know if claiming allegories in LotR is a subtle form of trolling.
Easton Kelly
Never read the books, did you?
Evan Jenkins
Why didn't they just go to rehab?

Drug addiction wasn't a think when Tolkien wrote the novels for a start.
Dominic Collins
It was pity that stayed Frodo's hand.

No, Tolkien never reference drug addictions in his lore, all that smoke you see are tobacco, not weed.

>Language is hard. This was maybe my answer to Martin, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. A Song of Ice and Fire had a very modern philosophy: that if the king was a good man, he would get his dick chopped off. We look at history and it’s not that simple. Martin can say that Bran became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Martin doesn’t ask the question: How was high Valyrian conjugated? Does the pluperfect tense of bravosi derive from the suffix? How did dragons understand the verb, “dracarys”? And what about all those lost westerosi languages? By the end of the war, the night king is gone but all of the autists aren’t gone – they’re in the Godswood, watching beautiful sisters be beautifully raped. Did Bran pursue a policy of monolingualism and kill all other languages? Even the little baby dialects in their little dialect regions?

Holy shit

he obviously doesn't reference drug addiction directly (other than Saruman scolding Gandalf and then it turns out Saruman has been smoking Old Toby all that time too), but the Ring is addictive like the most addictive drug, so obviously there are parallels. People will do anything to get it and hold on to it.

No wonder it's so popular with social failures.

interesting to know Tolkien's thoughts on Game of Thrones
Adam Lee
cannot believe people fell for this bait
Wyatt Gomez
it doesn't mean his stories have no relevance to universal problems like addiction.

The ring represents temptation and sin, which are addictive, but equating the ring with drug addiction is retarded.
