followed by Gollum, but only after Gollum attacks Frodo in an attempt to steal the ring around his neck. He ultimately fails to steal the ring, and Frodo and Sam make Gollum lead them to the Black Gates. While the aforementioned event is happening, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli reach the Rohan kingdom. There, the audience is informed that the great King Theoden has succumbed to Saruman's malicious spell. Although I have never seen the movie prior to it being presented in religion class,…

The “Sword that was broken” (Tolkien, Fellowship 276) is revealed to be a symbol for Aragorn, whose ancestral line, the line of Isildur, was broken and lost to Gondor for centuries. The subjects of the Gondorian poetry within the book are always the members of the line of Isildur, whether that be a prophecy about Aragorn or the history of the great kings in the past.

prevails gloriously. The Lord of the Rings is prime example of redemption theory in film through its parallels to the Christus Victor theory of atonement.

Many of J.R.R. Tolkien’s major works, such as The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings have been criticized for their absence of major female characters, in addition to the stereotypical nature of those females. This essay discusses that these assumptions are erroneous, the female characters in Tolkien’s works are independent, resilient, and imperative to the central plots of each novel. J.R.R. Tolkien’s characters Lúthien, Galadriel, Arwen, and Éowyn are good examples of strong females.…

It was the most unlikely event to happen. Just by chance did the hobbit Bilbo Baggins reach down and pick up what at the time seemed insignificant, “ . . . a tiny ring of cold metal lying on the floor of the tunnel” (Tolkien 76). At this point of the book, The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, the character Bilbo thinks nothing of picking up what seems an insignificant object, this cold tiny ring. Little does Bilbo know that this ring would change Middle Earth forever and, though the ring is an…

In the movie, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the character that I found most intriguing was Aragorn. Right from the start, He was kind to the hobbits by escorting them to Rivendell. When the council meeting was being held by Elrond, Aragorn was the first to volunteer to help Frodo take the ring to Mordor and destroy it. In this scene, Aragon told Frodo that he would protect him with his life. Throughout the movie, he always put Frodo and the hobbits first which demonstrated his…

Symbolism: In the book, “The fellowship of the ring,” we can find various of objects that are symbolic to the story. The ring of power: Ring of power shows pure, uncontrollable power and its responsibilities and dangers. The ring of sauron has an innumerable amount of power within the owner. Consequently, it gives the wearer a lot of responsibilities that usually makes him/her corrupt in power. However, for the Three elven rings, it serves as a different purpose. Instead of making the wearer…

One example of this would be the unhealable wound, the wound, either physical or psychological, cannot be fully healed,…
