The Lord Of The Rings

The first of which was being captured by Three Big stinky Trolls in the middle of the night. According to the book these trolls can only come out at night, of they stay in the sun they turn to stone. After being captured the company was stuffed in sacks and were being cook. But the trolls argued on how to cook them so much that the sun came up and they turned to stone. The company continued their journey for a while, but they stopped at an Elven city to rest and get information from the wise elf king. The king informed them that the only way they can get into their home was to open a secret door to the mountain that only open on the last day of autumn. With this information the company made haste to continue their journey. They kept walking until they came to a rigorous rode that went up a mountain. As they climbed the weather worsened, and it began to storm. The company found a small gave to take shelter from the storm in, so they entered the cave and rested. As they all slept the sneaky goblins who lived in that mountain ambushed them and took the dwarves and Bilbo deep into the cave to see the goblin king. Gandalf use some magic to avoid being captured. The goblins were mean but as they pushed and shoved the dwarves Bilbo managed to slip away from them. After the the goblins past Bilbo was alone and could not see very well dew to the darkness. The poor hobbit fell down a hole and landed on the hard cave floor, a little shaken up but he was fine. As Bilbo started to get up he found a magical ring. As Bilbo tried to find his way out he met a pathetic creature named Gollum. The creature threatened to eat the poor hobbit but Bilbo made a deal with the creature instead. The deal was if Bilbo won a game of riddles Gollum would show him the way out, but if he lost Gollum would eat him. The game was quite long with many interesting riddles but Bilbo tricked the creature and won the game.

Like all archetypal heroes, Frodo begins in an ordinary world. He lives in the Shire with family and close friends. He does not seek adventure, and he is content to sit, smoke a pipe, and tell stories. He receives his call to adventure when Gandalf shows up and asks him to carry the ring to flames of Mount Doom. The ring has been causing a disturbance in Middle Earth, and Gandalf believes Frodo can handle the challenge. Frodo is reluctant to answer the call. He is comfortable and happy, and the journey

This is Bilbo’s acceptance of the adventure. Next Bilbo got help from a supernatural aid; a ring. He came across the ring underground in the Goblins territory right before he encountered Gollum. The ring turned out to be Gollum’s and was very important to him, but still Bilbo took it for himself; and that was a smart idea, as it became quite a useful tool throughout his journey. With it he escaped Gollum’s lair; “Gollum was defeated. He dared go no further. He had lost : lost his prey, and lost, too, the only thing he had ever cared about, his precious” (Tolkien 87). The ring helped Bilbo escape the goblins, who Bilbo encountered shortly after fleeing from Gollum. The ring also helped Bilbo escape from the treacherous spiders he and the dwarves came across later on in the story. Finally, Bilbo crossed the threshold, or in other worlds, left the old world behind. The morning after the dwarves had convinced Bilbo to join them, Bilbo found his house trashed, but the dwarves gone. So he assumed they went on without him. Ten minutes before he was due at the Green Dragon Inn, Gandalf appeared at his house informing him that they were all waiting for him to arrive. Flustered, Bilbo was shoved out of his house towards the Inn, without

In J.R.R Tolkien's Lord of the Rings Trilogy, the character of Gollum has quickly proven to be the single most important character to the plot. This is due partly to his role in the destruction of the One Ring; but more to do with the themes associated with the character of Gollum. Gollum, despite being a disgusting and repulsive creature who had entered the story later than most other characters, embodies the strongest allegory in the entire trilogy. Gollum is an allegory for the depravity of Man because he puts all of his focus on a physical object with absolutely no eternal value, Gollum's devotion to the One Ring led to major physical and mental transformations, and Gollum's eventual obsession with the One Ring brought about the terrible

The concept of responsibility is widely demonstrated in the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings (LOTR) directed by Peter Jackson. Jackson has proven that when shouldered with a burden of responsibility, people can have positive results. The mechanism of responsibility is a major theme in the LOTR. The protagonists portrayed in the movie, Gandalf, Frodo, and Aragorn, represents the idea of how responsibility can transpire into a positive effect.

In his word Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien presents an unlikely hero in Samwise Gamgee, the most direct companion of Frodo Baggins in his quest to destroy the one Ring. While many other characters show honorable traits, Samwise demonstrates true servanthood, a brave heart, and perseverance, even through the land of Mordor. One of Sam’s most prominent character trait is his spirit of servanthood, which develops into a complete devotion to his master and his quest. Like many of his traits, he had a servant’s heart before the quest even began.

The Fellowship of the Ring takes place in a fictional world named Middle-Earth. The title itself tells some aspects of the book. The Ring, a possession of The Dark Lord Sauron, is used for evil deeds. Sauron placed much of his power in the Ring, and controls people through it. This is all in an effort to enslave

With their help the hobbits make it to Rivendell where they are re-united with Gandalf and Bilbo. The Elven Lord Elrond convenes a council where the ring is discussed at great length and Frodo learns how powerful it truly is, because even the wise wizard Saruman the White has been possessed by Saruman. “It is perilous to study too deeply the arts of the Enemy, for good or for ill.” Saruman’s desire for knowledge of the ring left him vulnerable to Sauron’s evil, and now he has become a pawn to the Dark Lord. Also present at this council is Boromir from the kingdom of Gondor. When he learns of the power of the ring, he immediately desires it and asserts that he will use its great power to destroy their enemy and bring peace. Elrond wisely responds, “We cannot use the Ruling Ring. That we now know too well. It belongs to Sauron and was made by him alone, and is altogether evil. Its strength, Boromir, is too great for anyone to wield at will, save only those who have already a great power of their own. But for them it holds an even deadlier peril. The very desire of it corrupts the heart.” It is decided the ring must be destroyed in the place that it was made, Sauron’s kingdom of Mordor. Frodo agrees to accompany and hold the ring, and he is escorted on this quest by: Gandalf, Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Boromir, Pippin, Merry, and Sam. Elrond thusly titles the nine of them to be

him about his disappearing act. Once Bilbo leaves, Gandalf warns Frodo to never use the ring.

Frodo, a mere hobbit, is tasked with the monumental task of carrying the most powerful weapon in Middle Earth, with the power to corrupt kings and take control of one’s very soul, all the way from the Shire to Mordor, two very opposite extremes in terms of geography. Yet, no matter how great his quest may seem, it is unlike the standard brave-hero-saving-the-day trope that is so common. Frodo is all too powerless to the events transpiring around him and he is very aware of it. He was never meant for a task as grand as this and never should have left the peace of the Shire. There are plenty of more capable people around him, taking the Fellowship for example, which anyone else in this band of warrior (apart from maybe the other three Hobbits) would have been a hundred times more qualified for the quest than himself. Yet, due to the nature of Hobbits such as their lack of want for power, the ring has a much harder time corrupting him than the other races so he is, in reality, perfect for the task. Throughout the movie he has to face the psychological effects of the ring all the while fending off Wraiths, Goblins, and Uruk-Hai, and even his very friends on occasion. Throughout this move Frodo proves that, although he may not be a brave warrior like the other members of the Fellowship, he is a strong and driven

Setting: The first major setting of this book is in The Forest of Fangorn , where Merry and Pippin go to escape the Orcs that kidnapped them, there they meet an Ent(a giant tree creature) named Fangorn and he gives them food and befriends them. At about the same time Aragorn and the rest of the fellowship is also in The Forest of Fangorn, where they are being tormented by Saruman. Next the fellowship goes to Edoras, the Golden Hall of King Theoden, after that they go to Isengard to confront Saruman. Now we see Frodo and Sam traveling to Mordor and on the way they see Gollum and they ask him to lead them to Mordor. While Gollum is leading them they reach the Black Gate of Mordor, but the gate is heavily guarded so Gollum shows them a different path. Gollum then leads them up Cirith Ungol and through the tunnels of Shelob. Frodo is captured and brought to the Orc headquarters and this is the last setting in the book.

The Fellowship of the Ring marks the beginning of this epic journey frodo is destined to finished. Director Peter Jackson begins the storyline with the forging of the seven great rings. Sauron, the Lord of Darkness, guided by his ambition of power, secretly forged the Master Ring. The Master Ring possesses the power to ruled the other seven ring. That is why the goodness of every creature who gets to possess the ring is put into test. Bilbo Baggins who was the last possessor was being tempted by the darkness the ring posses. Some of the characters are possess by the ring due to the thirst of power it inflicts on them. They show their weaknesses to such power. While, other characters show that they are not corrupted by the inner darkness the ring has.Through this amazing story, Peter Jackson portrays ethical values such as good versus evil in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. This demonstrate how corrupted or naive the strange creatures of Middle-earth can be.

"Three Rings for the Eleven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his Dark throne, In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them, In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie(Tolkien)." Master of storytelling J.R.R. Tolkien continues the lives of the fictitious creatures that he introduced in The Hobbit, in his modern classic The Fellowship of the Ring. He artfully illustrates the truths of the evil that plague the hearts of man. He tells a story of greed, destruction and how mortal men are enslaved by

After Frodo set out they had encountered a shadowy figure on a black horse that was searching for them. The first black rider never managed to spot them so they continued on with the journey. The second time tho the black rider got off of his horse and began to crawl near them. Just as the rider got near them a group of elves were heard on the passage singing in elvish tongue so the rider left. As the elves passed they spotted Frodo and Frodo asked to join them and they discussed the incident the elves told Frodo to not take the journey on his own and that the enemy is more dangerous than he thinks and he should be careful.

Peter Jackson watched the animation of The Lord of the Rings, which lead him to read Tolkien’s novels. He was interested in making the Hobbit series first, but put the project on hold because he was offered to remake the film King Kong. So then he wanted to film King Kong before the trilogy, but had to put it on hold because of location problems, so he began with The Lord of the Rings project. Jackson wanted to make sure that everything would run smoothly for the film, so he got started with rereading the books and developing a script (Wikipedia, 2014).
