Here are some of the events that unfolded differently in the movie and the book. I have found four differences. Here are some things that were different in the movie than in the book. First off, Isildur grabs his father’s sword and uses it to kill Sauron. Second, Sam, Merry, and Pippin are the same age at The Long Expected Party as they are during the war of the ring.

In a 1967 essay, J. R. R. Tolkien said he saw Gandalf as an angelic being, given the form of an old man to limit his powers on earth. He would never say the same of Merlin. While Tolkien drew much inspiration from Arthurian legend, especially Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte Darthur, Gandalf and Merlin are very different characters. Merlin is a man, one whose role in much of Arthurian legend is as a loyal servant of the Kings of Camelot, willing to do anything to help them. He also rarely performs serious

becomes so great that one of the humans named Boromir tries to take the ring from Frodo. This leads to the fellowship splitting up into three different groups. The ultimate goal of this book is the destruction of the Ring and stopping the Dark Lord Sauron from taking over the Middle Earth. Tolkien uses a Fantasy / Mythical theme throughout the book. The book has different battles and skirmishes that occur. They have to fight off Orcs and the Dark Riders all throughout the story

Elrond sums it up well in his council. He states, “For nothing is evil in the beginning. Even Sauron was not so” (Tolkien 349). Tolkien expertly weaves these themes into his tale, and no character is left unaffected by the Ring. The Ring serves as a brilliant metaphor for power and what it can do to people. In his novel, no character is immune to

Among other things, Tolkien was perhaps chiefly a scholar of mythology, and despite his dislike of allegory, his universe is shot through with mythological archetypes. Among Tolkien’s obvious mythological influences (Biblical, Celtic, Norse, and Arthurian mythologies, etc.), I believe Biblical held the most significant effect on The Lord of the Rings, albeit Finnish/Nordic appears more so than any other. Additionally, Tolkien wanted to publish The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings together,

the adventures of Frodo, a simple being from ?The Shire,? and a smaller than average creature, a Hobbit. Frodo reluctantly undertakes the challenge of defeating the Lord of Darkness, Sauron, by destroying his Ring of Power, a feat which can only be done through casting the Ring into the Fires of Mount Doom, Sauron?s stronghold. Frodo and his group of companions undertake the journey and along the way are faced

To the rulers of the three races (elves, dwarves, and men) Sauron gave the rings as gifts. The fourth race of Middle Earth, the hobbits, was perhaps too small and inconsequential for him. In secrecy, Sauron forged the One Ring---a master ring that would rule all the other rings and bring their wearers under the domination of Sauron himself. It was the One Ring that would grant absolute power. But, as the story goes, Sauron’s plan was discovered

sound of voices. The character Frodo is trying to do good by destroying this ring which is tremendously powerful. The ring has the power to make even the purest character evil. It also tempts multiple characters throughout the novel. The character Sauron is trying to obtain the ring and use it for evil. This ring effects not only Frodo, but Gandalf too. Gandalf refuses to take it, because of its power. Boromir was also tempted by the ring. Anyone who comes in contact with the ring can easily

J.R.R Tolkien’s writing consists of a variety of different mythological influences ranging from Greco-Roman, Norse, and Scandinavian. Though these sources do shape the narrative and construction of Middle Earth, the most prominent influence on his mythos is derived from Christian theology in the Bible. Traces of biblical influence can be found throughout The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. Each of these texts portray Tolkien’s conception of good and evil in some way. Some have
