An individual's actions have the capacity to guide their actions and behaviours. Throughout Peter Jackson’s cinematic trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, the power of an individual’s motivations is vividly conveyed, as it influences many character’s course of actions. The root of Saruman’s motivations is his allegiance to Sauron, “Together, my Lord Sauron, we shall rule this Middle-Earth.” (Saruman, LOTR:TTT, Jackson), as well as supplementary influences.

It made me want to be involved with the process of how great films are made. According to Wikipedia, “Jackson knew he wanted to bring the movie to the big screen, and was curious to why nobody decided to do so.” He wanted to take advantage of the new technology, and create a fantasy that was serious and felt real (Wikipedia, 2014).

In his article, Richard Alleva praises Jackson for his great achievements. Taking on the task of adapting Tolkien’s cherished series to the screen sets Jackson apart as a courageous and dedicated artist who will be remembered.

Lord Peter loves the thrill a new assignment can bring, just as any other person can enjoy discovering something new or does what they truly love. People get tired of routine and of bland circumstances, which is why Lord Peter addresses why the case he is working on does not fulfill him. He says, “ ‘Competent, of course, but no imagination.

In Strong Poison by Dorothy Sayers, there is a multitude of detectives. There is our main character, the amateur detective Lord Peter Wimsey, and with him there are the people that work for and with him. Miss Climpson, Bunter and Miss Murchison, these people are the ones that help him solve the cases. The women that are helping Detective Wimsey are spinsters, who are equipped with a quick mind and who have no problem sticking their noses where they have no business being. After World War I there

“Sayers’s career writing detective stories effectively ends with Gaudy Night” (108), she did not present a new argument, but continued the tradition that Gaudy Night does not center on the detective story.  Barbara Harrison even labeled Dorothy Sayers’s Lord Peter/Harriet Vane books, Strong Poison, Gaudy Night, and Busman’s Honeymoon, as “deliriously happy-ending romances” (66).  The label stretches the definition of a romance, but Gaudy Night indeed has very little to do with crime.  Sayers encrypted the
