Hobbit A philologist and professor of medieval literature at the University of Oxford named John Ronald Reuel Tolkien created many fascinating fantasies such as “Beowulf” and one of the most well-known, “The Lord of the Rings”. The creation of “The Hobbit” was said to be the prequel to the “Lord of the Rings” in world of middle earth. The main character, or protagonist, of this novel is a timid, small Hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. He was surprised with a visit by famous fictional wizard, Gandalf,…

tells of a quest in which Bilbo Baggins, a small hobbit is hired by dwarves to come with them to fight a dragon and have a share of their treasure. There is much reason to believe that, even though not his intent, Mr. Tolkien had made his writings of Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit based off of a clear Christian perspective.

“Lord of the Religion” In the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding there is the use of religious symbols to support a deeper interpretation of the novel.

The first time a transformation truly scared me was in the fourth Harry Potter movie. In it, Lord Voldemort is resurrected in a grotesque scene where he rises out of a cauldron. One of his henchmen, Wormtail, slices open his arm, lets his blood fall into the cauldron, and Voldemort grows from infant to grown man in just a few seconds. The creepy computer-generated Voldemort fetus was utterly terrifying to a six-year-old (I got started on Harry Potter at a very young age). Because of this early…

was first published in 1937 and is an example of the high fantasy genre. Its sequel is the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Although many readers have thought that the book’s theme is about hidden heroism within, Tolkien has stated his distaste for allegory and told his readers that the book’s main purpose was for storytelling.
