Gollum is clearly shown to have quite the schizophrenic good/evil split. I think, however, that he is essentially good. The evil in him is inspired by the ring, and his addictive lust for it. That can't be his fault; after all, not even kings of Numenor could resist the corruption. When you discard everything he does as a result of his ring-craze, what you're left with is a quiet, gentle little guy who likes fish and riddles.
