life, makes it more meaningful. In the story, Tolkien constantly introduces characters but, only a few of them become friends of Frodo and the company. These fresh characters serviced Frodo on his journey. In the beginning, Frodo and the rest of the hobbits always found themselves in trouble; however, these characters would always come during the heat of the moment and save them. “…Do you know who I am?

he cried, standing up, holding out a trembling hand. ‘Give it to me at once! You can’t have it!’” (Tolkien 890) John Ronald Reuel Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings is a fantasy trilogy that has set the bar for all others of the genre. It follows a young hobbit named Frodo as he, and his companions, struggle to destroy an evil ring capable of the world’s end. Frodo Baggins is the humblest of creatures, yet even he is susceptible to the temptations of pure evil through the ring of power; this is proven…

individually cut and brought to the film set from the neighborhood as an effort to find the perfect tree overlooking Bilbo’s house (“About Us”, n.d.). Furthermore, Jackson decided to repaint the whole oak tree leaves to make it look younger as The Hobbit trilogy take place 60 years before The Lord of the Ring trilogy. And the tree only appeared for few minutes throughout the whole trilogy. Such dedication on details allowed his series to be a near-perfect recreation of the novel and him to gain…

know of the Seven and Old Gods. The Great Stallion, the religion of the Dothraki doesn’t have a lot of information in the books. We know that baby Rhaego would have been the stallion who mounts the world. The Hobbit has more religion when you read other Tolkien books. The religion of The Hobbit isn’t in the book itself but in The Silmarillion. Tolkien and Martin both have larger scopes on religion, as far as explaining not in one book but several. Although, Rothfuss gives readers a hint of the…

first movie in the trilogy of the rings. The Hobbit, is a movie that sets the story up from the beginning, yet it came out eleven years later. I would recommend seeing The Hobbit so that you get all the insight and valuable background information that you need to understand the trilogy. Peter Jackson directed both magical movies. The Fellowship of the Rings theme of friendship, plays a large role in The Hobbit. The Hobbit had a theme of a common hobbit becoming the main hero in a movie, but…

where the most influential events occurred in the novel. The Hobbits travel to Bree in the beginning so that they can once again meet with Gandalf the Grey and rest. Upon arrival, they received news that the old wizard had not yet arrived and had not been seen for six weeks prior to their arrival to the Prancing Poney (Tolkien 149). This event is a way for Tolkien to cue the readers in on the happenings of the world outside of the Hobbits realm. Due to Gandalf absence, Frodo fears that something…

The long days and nights riding to Bree started molding into each other so I didn’t have the best idea about how long it has been. I looked up at the stormy night sky dark with clouds filled with rain and thunder that blocked out the light from the stars and the moon. Lightning could be seen in the distance zapping at the ground. I made my horse go faster so we could get to Bree sooner. It was about twenty miles away from where we were. After a loud clap of thunder shook the ground, rain started…

In The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, Gandalf plays the mentor archetype because he is full of wisdom, has experience from many treacherous journeys , and is a superb leader.
