Lluvatar knew about a supreme force/being, whose name is not mentioned. Since he could not see him, they tried to "make him", but he was really just a vision. So when Lluvatar, or Eru as he is also know, brought his vision to life and made Ëa, later known as Earth. The people of Ainur, Eru's race, were allowed to live on Ëa if they so desired. Until Arda was made, They wandered the regions of Ëa, but then came the Kingdom of Earth. Melkor was the mightiest of the Ainur, and he turned evil when he went to earth and fought against the other Ainur there. The 14 members of the Ainur became known as the Valar, who fought against Melkor. Melkor was beating them, but then came Tulkas. Melkor no longer was winning, so he left and hated Tulkas forever. Arda was only lit because of two lamps, put there by Tulkas. Melkor secretly came back and built an underground fortress. Things started going bad. Animals were getting sick and fighting against each other. Plants were dying, so the Valar came and sought to find Melkor. But by the time they found him, Melkor had destroyed the two lamps.

    Tolkien’s narrative with the adventuring group, is quite enchanting to me. The quest to the mountain is filled with action packed event after event, and each time the outcome and solution is different. I enjoy this because of the creativity it can draw from me, I love being able to read “The Hobbit” and see all the different encounters the party must face, and how these affairs create so many options for the story to go and characters to develop. All of these different situations and outcomes throughout the book I believe will give me many pieces of literature to talk about for later projects involving this book I…

    During the War of the Shadow, thousands of years before the events of ‘The Wheel of Time,’ the city was a prosperous place devoted to doing good. However, a man named Mordeth appeared in the city and soon became the King’s most trusted advisor. Through careful manipulation, Mordeth was able to convince the city that they needed to fight the shadow to the exclusion of all else. This soon became their downfall, as evidenced when Jordan writes “the victory of the light is all. That is the battlecry Mordeth gave them, and the men of Aridhol shouted it while their deeds abandoned the light” (Jordan, p.289).…

    Allusions In The Hobbit

    An Oxford don, a romanticist and a loyal Catholic, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien fit the perfect mold for creating the greatest epic trilogy of the twentieth century (Jones 11, 22, 25). Specializing in areas such as Welsh and Anglo-Saxon language, history, and literature, J. R. R. Tolkien gained enough knowledge to create his own language for the character origins and names in his stories, such as those of the elves and the dwarves (31). The combination of his Germanic insight on history and language and a well rounded Christian faith prepared Tolkien to write arguably the greatest fantasy tale this world has ever seen. With many great epics come great controversies. Thus, the many interpretations of Tolkien’s work make The Lord of the Rings fall…
