The Fellowship Of The Ring Climax

Improved Essays
The Climax of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring occurs when Frodo decides to take the Ring to Mordor by himself.

He could either go to Minas Tirith, the home or Boromir, or go to where to where the evil was strongest in attempts to burn the Ring where it was created. Boromir came to Frodo and attempted to make him go to Minas Tirith. During the talk, the Ring’s power overcame Boromir causing him to speak of Frodo and his men ruling over all with the Ring. Frodo realized then the true abilities of the Ring, and he saw that he must go alone or more

    Heroic journeys can happen in many different ways. Everyone has a journey in their life, not all are the same, as we can see in Moana and The hobbit.

    Thesis Statement: In the novel The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien shows that man has the ability to decide between good and evil, contrasting Golding who views that all man is innately evil.

Golding uses the character Ralph to show that man struggles between choosing good versus evil and chooses evil, compared to Tolkien’s novel where Frodo has to make the choice for good and ultimately chooses good. A. Ralph finds himself having to decide between going back to the beach and joining Jack’s evil dance during the thunderstorm.…
