The Lord of the Rings

The themes of power and temptation were widely included in this story. The Ring was not only a symbol of power, but also of the endless evil that could be found in the world around us. The temptation of the Ring could corrupt people not only in their minds, but will also damaged their outer appearance. Admittedly, King Saul and Saruman both had had the chance to be the prominent heroes, but neither of them had escaped the evil temptation, which led them to the ultimate destruction. Sometimes one’s

there have been hundreds of imitations of JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. These imitations rapidly settled into a genre known as "high fantasy", often written in semi-biblical style and always with rigid conventions of plot and character. To write "high fantasy" you need a map as frontispiece, dotted with invented place-names (half of which are interrupted by a needless apostrophe), showing a pre-industrial country governed by a tyrant (or Dark Lord). This evil ruler will be served by minions of a spectral

through The Lord of the Rings (1954- 55), Tolkien constructs a narrative that builds on the struggles of class warfare and the problems wealth brings, both intellectual and financial, with a key focus on the problems of greed. In this paper, I aim to outline Tolkien’s philosophy on how greed corrupts many of the protagonists in the Middle-earth he created, as well as highlight his insertion of the problems of the real world. The moral dilemma of greed in both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings is a prominent

Despite the fact that many people consider the dwarves to be the most skilled craftsmen and smiths, my passion, as that of a loyal high fantasy lover, lies with elven techniques. The realization came while I was reading J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Silmarillion”. The elves love beautiful, useful, and most importantly, durable things. In Tolkien’s legendarium, their skills are taught to them by the Valar – the Gods who created the world and all the matter in it. Unlike the elves

“The Burden of Responsibility” 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

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is the second instalment from the novel based series written by J.R.R Tolkien, which has been turned into an epic movie series by director Peter Jackson. Starting with The Fellowship of the Ring and concluding with The Return of the King. The movie was film throughout New Zealand, show cases the beautiful scenery the country has to show case. This film series is one of the biggest movies ever made making almost $3 billion at the box office. This making it one of

In “The Hobbit” and the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy there are two characters of similarity that play a key role in both narratives. Thorin II Oakinshield and Aragorn II Elessar are two would be kings who come into their crowns in time for their own respective books or series to end. Both dwarf and man have a journey to their individual thrones and in particular the genesis, the journey and the end of their adventures share a great deal of commonality and precarious differences, variables that with

Love is synonymous with the good in The Lord of the Rings. There is a strong heroic love like no other between Frodo and Sam. It is abundantly clear that Sam would lay his life on the line for Frodo and the quest of destroying the Ring. There is love of honor and love of country and underlying all fashions of love is the love a fellowship—that of one man for another (Bradley 77). There is a heroism thrust in Frodo’s lap and he accepts the task although he does not know the way (Tolkien 264). Samwise

If someone have not read The Hobbit or Lord of The Rings, they surely have heard of these famous books. Most people think that the author of these books is J.K. Rowling, who is the author of the Harry Potter series because of the fantasy genre she writes abou. But no she is not the author for The Hobbit and Lord of The Rings and many other of J.R.R. Tolkien works. “John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born january 3 1892, at Bloemfontein, South Africa”(Stade 519) in an loving family that consist of his

Fantasy and reality have an immense amount of differences. But, could the two very well be the same? The answer is obvious. JRR Tolkien, the author of the well known series, “ Lord of the Rings’ states “ It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him.” Tolkien significantly overwhelms the quote to portray a similar message. As plans and tactics are placed into action, one must severely and crucially be as detailed as possible. Imagine living in a mystic world
