I'm guessing your talking about The Lord of the Rings? I don't
really remember the books because I read them when I was 12-years-old,
but I did see the movies last year. What I loved was how Frodo gave
Gollum a second chance, even though Sam kept warning him about 
Gollum's loyalty. And even though Sam did turn out to be right about
Gollum, if it wasn't for Frodo, Gollum wouldn't have been around to 
leap for the ring and save them all in the end. So, even though Gollum
could not escape his past or the hold the ring had over him, he still
saved Frodo. It really sounds awfully familiar to me...

>Renee responded:
You're right; I'll add "Frodo's pity" to Providence (or coincidence,
but I believe the former applies). So, basically, what we're having
here is Choice and Fate working together. Is that what you meant by
familiar?

vmonte again:
Snape reminds me of Gollum.
