The Lord of the Rings by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien is a book widely known for its rich language, detailed imagery, and profound story that expands over three volumes and six books. The book is scattered with deep characters ranging in back stories and eventual character development. Motifs, key parts throughout the story, include lightness and darkness, eyes, jewelry, and sword. JRR Tolkien even creates his own language for the solemn race of elves in the lengthy three volume novel. A part of this length may be attributed to the unusual placement of many full-form songs and poems within the book, as a break between the usual story. These poems and songs have ranges of playfulness and thoughtfulness. With uses of made up Hobbit words and beautiful

Tolkien’s work are masterpieces in fantasy writing, but have sparked great controversy in the writer’s world of fiction. “The Lord of the Rings” explains that Tolkien’s perspective of modernism is not just considered a free form of writing , but a way of thinking. Also Tolkien’s popularity has come from his reference to an older, more traditional world where man has an obvious relationship with both the spiritual and natural world around him (128). “The Hobbit” says, “Tolkien believed mythology and fairy tales helped bridge the gap between generations” (104). Tolkien thought that his books had no age limits for who “should” be allowed to read them and brought imagination and wonder to whoever would read his books. Tolkien’s books have been told to represent “good” as a fuller, more imaginative reality than evil and has received many praises. “The Hobbit” explains, The Hobbit is a grand adventure of good defeating evil. The story is an important work in its own right and has made a foundation of the use of elements from myths in their work which modern fantasy, horror, and science-fiction writers build off of (104). “The Lord of the Rings” says, “Through innovations in both content and form, Tolkien created a saga that satisfied modern hunger in many new myths-Those heroic tales perpetuated in every culture that speak the power of

In the lecture Tolkien tells the readers that the man has the power to create stories in order to describe the events of what people are going through. They can express these stories as “satire, adventure, morality, and fantasy” and “causes it to take living form and colour before the eyes.” This makes the readers understand that the fairy stories are created with the intentions to relate to existing events happening, but can be seen in different ways and told by different personifications.

In many stories, there is a hero ‒ a character who rescues, saves, survives, and sacrifices in order to help the greater good. He usually is of mysterious origin and often starts off seeming ordinary and insignificant. However, as the hero eventually grows and develops, he follows the hero’s journey, or the general structure of a hero’s adventures. Such is the case in J.R.R. Tolkien’s renowned The Hobbit, a high fantasy novel detailing the adventures of Mr. Bilbo Baggins, a small furry creature known as a hobbit. Bilbo lives comfortably in his hobbit-hole until he is compelled to join a dangerous quest with Gandalf the wizard and thirteen dwarves. As Bilbo Baggins progresses along his hero’s journey, he transforms, develops, and changes into an extraordinary hero.
