Gollum has a slight redemption arc that only backfires after Sam continually mistreats him , undoing all the good will Frodo creates through understanding. So it actually shows the possibility of redemption, then it's Sam who causes that to fail.
Also, imagine Frodo in Mount Doom with the ring, then an image of Gandalf pops up in his head saying "If you destroy it, you will become just like it."
I love imagining things like this in LotR.
