The following analysis deals with the nature and source of evil and whether, given our innate motives and moral obligation, we willingly choose to succumb to our desires or are slaves of our passion. From this argument, I intend to show that our human nature requires that we play into our desires in order to affirm our free will. This is not to say that our desires are necessarily evil, but quite the opposite. In some sense, whatever people actually want has some relative value to them, and that
Pippin. The genre of the book is fictional fantasy. Bilbo Baggins has a magic ring that makes you invisible. He leaves this ring to his cousin Frodo. Bilbo’s friend Gandalf of Grey tells Frodo how dangerous the ring is. It was made by the evil lord of Mordor, Sauron, in the fires of Mount Doom. Frodo decides to set out to the wise elves of Rivendell accompanied by Sam, Merry, and Pippin his friends. On the way, Sauron’s servants known as black riders and ring wraiths, hunt the four boys who narrowly escape
familiar with Lord of the Rings, one has heard the classic “Eagles theory.” This theory states that before Gandalf died, he had planned for the Fellowship to take the Eagles to Mordor, and when he came back as Gandalf the White he had forgotten about it (Covucci “A Thorough Rebuttal to the ‘Why Didn’t the Eagles Just Fly Frodo to Mordor’ LOTR Complaint”) While this theory makes sense for those
originality. It follows a cookie-cutter character through its journey to save that which is dear to him. In the case of Frodo he must protect the shire from devastation, and potentially all of Middle-Earth, by throwing the ring back into the fires of Mordor. This quest takes Frodo through a series of plot elements that famous Greek heroes have followed, his mission to rid Middle-Earth of ominous forces. Frodo’s birth wasn’t particularly odd, as most Greek heroes. He wasn’t parts divine, nor was he blessed
Instead of destroying The Ring, Boromir suggests it be used against Sauron and his army. “It is a gift. A gift to the foes of Mordor. Why not use this Ring? Long has my father, the Steward of Gondor, kept the forces of Mordor at Bay. By the blood of our people are your lands kept safe! Give Gondor the weapon of the enemy. Let us use it against him!” Boromir sees The Ring as a useful weapon but he fails to understand the true
kind wizard and close friend of Frodo. Gandolf investigates the ring and finds out that it is the same ring that Sauron created. To summarise the rest of the story, Frodo and Sam-wise take the ring on a long journey to destroy it at MT.Doom in Mordor, but there travels will not be that easy. The evil army of Saroun has regrouped and is ... ... middle of paper ... ... so that initially we, the audience, think that he is evil and no friend of the hobbits, but in actual fact he is good and
chances, Gandalf tells Frodo to leave the Shire with the Ring and sends him to Bree with Sam, with plans to meet him there after Gandalf goes to Isengard to meet the head of his order, Saruman. Saruman reveals that the Nazgûl, or Ringwraiths, have left Mordor to capture the Ring and kill whoever carries it; having already turned to Sauron's cause, he then imprisons Gandalf atop Orthanc. Gandalf is then forced to watch as Saruman orders his orcs to build weapons of war and create an elite Orc army called
him. And so later on, when the forces of Mordor arrive to attack Gondor, they successfully plot to have Aragorn positioned so he must face the Witch-King in single combat. The battle is too much for Aragorn, and just as he is about to die he is saved by Eowyn, a woman of Rohan who loves him, and Merry, who slays the Witch-king in single combat by using ancient hobbit-magic and so reveals himself to be the lost Thain of the Shire. Even as the forces of Mordor retreat, they are swept into the Sea by
quote from Gandalf reveals that the ring is the One Ring, the most powerful and dangerous relic in Middle-Earth forged by an evil deity known as Sauron. At this news, he introduces the overarching conflict of the story, the aforementioned quest into Mordor to destroy the Ring and stop Sauron. The exposition focused on the quiet, uneventful life of Frodo’s home in the Shire, the peaceful realm of the hobbits. Now armed with such a dangerous heirloom, the story is set in motion as he is soon forced to
When we watch any military motion pictures or documentaries we perceive that youthful troopers are taught that they ought to be prepared to give up their life whenever for their country. What does self-sacrifice actually mean? It’s an ability to willingly give up something good for something better. Envision a soldier fighting in the war where he has to establish a hard decision which includes either to relinquish his life to spare thousand different lives or be narrow minded and let others bite

No-man’s land is a chaos area mix by destroyed buildings, gray mud, rubble pocked with shell craters, and a lot of corpses. Mordor can be a parallel structure of the scene
favorite series that I continue to enjoy today. One of the major reasons I enjoy the Lord of the Rings trilogy is because of the storyline. The story is about a small hobbit, who has never left home before and his adventure to the dark world of Mordor in attempt to destroy the One Ring that was given to him. All the while, there is a major
in response to their seemingly impending doom, will be the focal point of this essay. Pippin is a “teenaged” hobbit, and the youngest of the Company that set out from Rivendell. His moment comes during the attack on the Black Gate, the entrance to Mordor. Upon hearing the fate of Frodo and Sam, and Gandalf’s rejection of Sauron’s terms, he was horrified. It is stated that “it seemed best to him to die soon and leave the bitter story of his life, since it was all in ruin.” Frodo and Sam were presumed
in the Star Wars trilogy, Frodo Baggins and Luke Skywalker, the archetypal heroes, demonstrate the heroic quality of selflessness for Frodo when he leaves the Shire then when he takes up the ring at Rivendell and finally when he attempts to leave Mordor by himself, and Luke shows selflessness when he goes to save Leia and then when he joins the Rebel Alliance and finally when he goes to redeem his father. Both Frodo and Luke demonstrate selflessness in their respective worlds with Frodo when he leaves
toward Mordor or go directly to the city of Minas Tirith, the capital of the Southern lands. Boromir ultimately becomes consumed with the Ring's power and he decides to take it for himself. He confronts Frodo and Frodo is forced to fend off Boromir. Realizing the power of the ring and his inability to trust other people, Frodo decides that he must go on to Mordor alone. He tries to leave discretely but Sam notices him trying to flee and follows him, and so the two set out together for Mordor.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - An Epic Fantasy The book The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is an impressive fantasy created by English writer J.R.R. Tolkien. It is a story of immense undertaking and adventure, yet filled with eccentric languages, creatures, and mythological folklore. Indeed, the book contains heroic feats and confrontations, questions of morals and principles, genuine love, nefarious evil, and true justice. The Fellowship of the Ring imparts a
The landscapes in The Lord of the Rings are crucial to the storyline. Tolkien has created a quest narrative in which physical landmasses, nature, and geography play a huge role in every scene. He develops the world of Middle-earth in such a way that it perfectly resembles a real life realm. By using every major component of our Primary world, he is able to fabricate a new one with indescribable quality and realistic attributes. Additionally, Tolkien uses the landscapes to enhance every scene, to
Nature plays an important and powerful role in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. Often, it is used to Shakespearean effects, in order to foreshadow doom. At other times, descriptions of the “green earth,” in particular, are used to render Middle-Earth into an almost maternal, life-giving persona. One could argue that these descriptions of “green earth” take on a life of their own, treating place as character. After all, places in Lord of the Rings often possess multi-dimensional qualities and are
the best friend by how Sam is always there for Frodo. The definition of the archetype the best friend is sweet safe-never lets anyone down-will always be there. Sam is that exactly to Frodo, Sam is always standing up for Frodo on their quest to Mordor. “What are we holding onto?” (Peter Jackson, 2003) Frodo sighed after almost being taken over by the ring and killed by the wrath, and like always Sam is there inspiring Frodo “That there is still some good in this world Mr.Frodo and it 's
