the land of Gondor the blood of Numenor is spent, nor all its pride and dignity forgotten. By our valour the wild folk of the East are still restrained, and the terror of Morgul kept at bay.”(2.2.275), he believes that Gondor is the only reason the Sauron hasn’t started his war yet, but in reality it’s because the Ring is not in his possession. He is a skilled warrior, “With a great sweep Boromir hewed the head off of another.”(2.4.336), he is able to help protect the Fellowship when danger…

The Lord of the Rings (LOTR) is undoubtedly one of the most notorious and successful tales ever told.

later became The Simarillion. During WWII, I wrote what later became known as my most famous works, Lord of the Rings. I used my experiences from the war; but, contrary to what some believe, Hitler and Stalin had nothing to do with the characters of Sauron and Saruman. The ring did not symbolize the atomic bomb. Admittedly, it followed the rise of the great evil that enveloped…

In their own realms, Dumbledore and Gandalf are known to be one of the strongest wizards and most influential characters, but which of the two is the better character?

The Lord of the Rings is a great epic for its time period because it's set in a futuristic age unlike others. It's like we've gone back in time to a more simpler period, yet, dangerous creatures exist like Orcs. There are races which fight and races which alliance. Elves can be immortal if they choose to be. Human’s are not. Each species’ age length differs. It adds a sense of daring adventure as a young Hobbit boy has to go and destroy this ring into a flaming lava pit. The main character’s…

I’ll work on the assumption that the poison is not a coating, but a combination of magic and alchemy that fuses it with the metal itself. The process is so difficult, only Sauron could do it. His masterpiece, so to speak, is the nine blades the Nazgûl carry, the only ones that can turn someone into a wraith. However, Sauron created more of a weaker poison-metal for the first Ring War that “only” causes the victim to die. After the war this metal was rare, and the Orcs forged blades for their…

isn't so bad in the book. The primary reason of the belief this book is satanic is most likely do to the Rings of Power, and the many wizards that walk Middle-Earth. The Rings of Power are rings with extreme power, with the Master Ring crafted by Sauron being the most powerful of the all. Hince the famous line, “One Ring to rule them all!”. These Rings of Power could be seen as satanic, carrying so much power… but think back for a moment to the classic story The Sword in the Stone. One sword to…

saving the world while the villains are the ugly people and creatures trying to be the demise of the heroes with very few exceptions. Solomon and Maasik state that, being a hero and a villain is “coded by his or her physical attractiveness” (443). Sauron and the Orcs from The Lord of The Rings are hideous, signifying that they are the evil villains trying to take over the land (442). Good looking characters such as the toned and “tall dark and handsome” Batman are out to do well in the world…
