Several pages before, Gollum attacks Frodo and Sam on the slopes of the mountain. It paints Smeagol in an entirely different light. When Frodo and Smeagol were fighting over the Ring, I think that that last bit of Smeagol made Gollum walk towards the edge. I think that Smeagol knew Gollum would eventually win out so he bid his time. should suddenly at his moment of triumph trip over his own feet. This guy who can literally climb mountains like a spider. It just always seemed odd to me that we have this creature, Gollum, who has been able to do amazing feats of strength and dexterity for the entire series with little more than a loin cloth. Well, it most likely was a desperate struggle, but I think that it was an internal one. I would not be surprised to know that this is a favorite fan theory out there: At the end of the movie, Smeagol's last act (falling into the Fires with the One Ring) was one of self sacrifice on the part of Smeagol against Gollum to save the world rather than a last desperate struggle of a villain. There is something that I always thought while watching Lord of the Rings.
