The Power of Language in The Lord of the Rings How powerful can language really be? In The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien there are a lot of powers that the characters have and what I noticed most was the power of language. The characters I found most knowledgeable and skilled with the power of language are Tom Bombadil, Frodo Baggins, Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf the Grey, and Galadriel. The power of language is shown in a variety of characters and is used to guide the story, also, Tolkien views

opponent. But this quote from Nelson Mandela says otherwise. So which is it? Is courage the lack of fear, or the overcoming of the fear that already exists? I believe it is the latter. In J.R.R. Tolkien’s literature masterpiece Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, a wise character within the story makes the statement that courage is found in unlikely places.

The Lord of the Rings has many themes throughout its three books, but the one theme that I find to be most prevalent is that of ecology.

In this paper we will be looking at one of these books; The Two Towers. Also we will be looking at the film version directed by Peter Jackson

Violence is a mainstay in modern media, from TV to video games blood, guts, and death are everywhere. It is the same way for novels. Violence appears in many works of fiction including the classic by J.R.R Tolkien, The Lord of The Rings. In Tolkien’s novel he shows scenes of great battles and violence.

The Lord of The Ring’s trilogy is considered one of the greatest Hollywood films in the century. These films have broken several movie records for the Hollywood industry. Also, these movies relate with an all age audience because of the great development of all the characters in the movie. To be clear, some would say that they feel like they know the characters after watching the trilogy. In my experience after watching the trilogy, it left me in aww because the different aspects of film it portrayed

Tolkien’s incorporation of a very small number of female characters, and attribution of the stereotypical roles of either the so-called “angels of the house” or the “mad women in the attic” to those few existing female characters has made

“The Burden Of Responsibility” By:Yeh-In Kang Enduring the burden of responsibility can lead people to positive outcomes. This theme is demonstrated by Peter Jackson, Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh in The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring through the responsibility of companionship that is carried by Samwise Gamgee.
