The Fellowship of the Ring

Characters from movies, tv shows and novels all have traits that make them relatable to individual people. One of my all time favorite book series is the Lord of the Rings. All of the interesting places, stories and people make for an amazing collection of books. The person I relate to the most from Lord of the Rings is Aragorn. Me and Aragorn are both helpful, optimistic and adventurous. Firstly, I love helping people. I help random people, my mom, my dad and I help out at the Westmoreland…

Boromir was following close behind. He wanted to bring the ring to his home in Minas Tirith, and use the ring as a weapon against Sauron.

Because Tolkien has his own interpretation and belief in Christianity, he starts a new chapter of fiction novel, and uses many unique ways to express his Christian view of life to bear on his fictional scholarships. First of all, most of his myths have many parallels and connections to biblical stories. In The Silmarillion, a fantasy fiction novel of Tolkien’s mythopoeic works, Tolkien depicts the entire history of his fictional world, and there is a Holy Creator, who is named Ilúvatar. At the…

interpreted to be allegorical to Christian teachings, but there are direct references to scripture throughout the series, especially in regards to death. Rowling focuses on many of the same Christian themes as J. R. R. Tolkien, author of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, including Augustinian ideals and the power of community and friendship.

Most people will simply refuse to read, or have anything to do with, anything deemed satanic. However, if you have read The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien you technically have. The Lord of the Rings was banned for its “fantasy ideas”, “sacrilegious beliefs”, and its “satanic ideas on witchcraft and evil”. I personally love the movies to death, and do not believe the book should be banned from view of the public. I don’t believe the book should be banned for reasons of: the book is far from…

Beowulf are not known for their modesty, boasting would be seen as common among the characters of the poem and so too may it be found that characters within The Lord of the Rings are predisposed to have fallen into the same peccadillo. In The Lord of the Rings, Boromir boasts of his prowess among men and his faithfulness to the fellowship. When he is first introduced at the council of Elrond, he says “believe not that in the land of Gondor the blood of numenor is spent, nor all its pride and…

Indeed, The Lord of the Rings is arguably the best book of all time and its author, J.R.R. Tolkien may be the best author of all time. Others may think that another book is the best book, but those people probably haven’t read The Lord of the Rings. While there are many other fantastic books out there, they do not quite match up…
