Tolkien character. However, if most people attempt to think of one of his characters the first ones that come to mind are males such as Aragorn and Frodo, when in all reality some of his most intriguing and subtly pivotal characters are females. Galadriel, Lúthien, Arwen, and Éowyn are four of those such women who are all individually different, although they can be
The Fellowship of the Ring Without a doubt, Lord of the Rings is one of the most successful movies to date. Adapting the famous books by J.R.R. Tolkien into film, possibly being responsible for the fantasy genre as it is today, and bringing us nine hours (or twelve if you have the extended versions) of one of the most memorable and enjoyable experiences that entertainment can give you. To start off the series, we begin with the Fellowship of the Ring. The story opens with Bilbo Baggins, a resident

J.R. R. Tolkien’s classic novel The Fellowship of the Ring was made into a film in 2001 and directed by Peter Jackson. This essay will be examining this specific film through a worldview perspective. For the purposes of this essay, worldview will be defined as “a perceptual framework”. (The Transforming Vision, pg. 17) Worldviews can be specific to a single person, or generalized to a group of people. The worldview expressed in this essay through examples from The Fellowship of the Ring will come
Galadriel and Eowyn are two of the strongest and most notable women in Middle-Earth; however, they are being misrepresented throughout the text. There are many other notable women in The Lord of the Rings, such as Goldberry, Arwen, and Shelob, but their presence is not very consistent throughout the novel. Galadriel and Ewoyn both exhibit typically masculine qualities; however, these positive attributes are only mentioned when accompanied by sexualized accounts of their beauty. Galadriel is both
Lord of the Rings’ predecessor, The Hobbit, didn’t do much for women, as it didn’t have a single female character, but the introduction of Galadriel in The Fellowship of the Ring solidified just how fantasy was changing.

Tolkien and the scene of The Mirror of Galadriel from the Lord of the Ring movie by Peter Jackson is based off of the same story that was written by J.R.R but are they the same? By using literary techniques such as characterization, imagery, and symbolism you will be able to see
