Adv. March 27, 2014 The Lord of The Rings Trilogy is a series of novels, illustrating the journey of Frodo the hobbit and his group of companions. They try to destroy the One Ring to prevent the land of Middle Earth from being completely overrun by Sauron. As popularity of the books has increased, several critics comment on the types of symbolism that are expertly intertwined with the front line meaning of the book. While defending his books, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien asserted, “I cordially dislike
Fellowship Of The Ring directed by Peter Jackson, the main character Frodo Baggins, his companions Marry and Pippin and a wise wizard Gandalf self-sacrificed their comfort, serenity and life in order to successfully complete their quest and to stop Sauron from crushing the Middle Earth. Sometimes individuals face compelling circumstances in their lives where they need to make life altering choices. The film proposes that by the act of self-sacrifice one can achieve internal strength that may have never

Gandalf answers Theoden by saying that “the evil of Sauron cannot be wholly cured, nor made as if it had not been,” (Tolkien 169). Even though Gandalf speaks of The Dark Lord Sauron, (the main evil in the series) we can take this comment to also belong to Saruman.

generous, gallant, courageous, and good. Conversely, Sauron’s perception of reality was entirely opposite of Frodo. Sauron’s reality included avarice, malice, viciousness, and pure evil. Sauron desired a reality of total control and power over everything. Gollum likewise had a similar perception of reality to Sauron, including vulnerability, suspicion, and

In conclusion, the novel Lord of the Rings is chalked full of unlikely heroes that all contribute to the destruction of the one ring—except Sauron, obviously—and these heroes can be found all around Middle Earth. Be it the small Hobbits from the shire, or the fair Elves from the middle of Mirkwood forest. Unlikely or strange people play huge parts in the novel. Starting with The Hobbits from
The Fellowship bands together with the common purpose of destroying the Ring. The Ring can only be destroyed by throwing it back into the Cracks of Doom in Orodruin, the Fire Mountain, in Mordor, home of the Emperor of Darkness known as Sauron. The Ring should Sauron get it would give him the power to control the world. The obvious difference in the make up of the Round Table and the Fellowship is that the Round Table is made up of humans whereas the Fellowship has humans along with fantasy creatures
“He turns back to the blank sheet paper in front of him and he begins to write, ‘In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit’” (White 5). This is the sentence that made J.R.R. Tolkien wonder about this mysterious little hobbit and that inspired him to write The Hobbit. Tolkien had great love for Catholicism which influenced everything he did especially his books. Tolkien’s morals were clearly shown in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion when good overturns evil. Tolkien’s
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 dead, Sauron had the Ring, and Gandalf had just pretty much sent them all on a kamikaze attack on the Black Gate. Things were looking pretty bleak for him, and, in fact, all of them, so his despair is quite a reasonable reaction to the situation. In spite of the

Saruman is a very powerful wizard, rivaled only by Gandalf and Sauron himself. He was once head of the Wizard's Council, for his greatest strength was in his ability to command men and beasts. Even now, he wields that ability with impressive results. His army is vast and powerful, and led completely by the force of

Though on the fellowship they come across monstrous beings; Sauron, the Dark Riders, the Balrog, and Saruman the White. The relationship between these Hobbits is questioned quite a lot, we see this through Frodo who says he doesn’t know who to trust. Though their friendship is weary it only grows powerful as the
Dark, imposing, devious, powerful beyond measure, Sauron is evil personified in the Lord of the Rings universe. He is the be all and end all when it comes to villiany in the Lord of the Rings tale. He is a major reason that the Lord of the Rings is regarded as a pinnacle of epic fantasy story telling. But he is not an overly complex villain, with morally gray motivations that some may say are required if an evil character, especially the central one, is to be regarded as important and beneficial
The prologue, spoken by Galadriel, shows the Dark Lord Sauron forging the One Ring in order to conquer the lands of Middle-earth. A Last Alliance of Elves and Men is formed to counter Sauron's forces at the foot of Mount Doom, but Sauron kills Elendil, the High King of Men. His son, Prince Isildur grabs Elendil's broken sword Narsil, and slashes at Sauron's hand, separating him from the Ring and vanquishing his army. However, because Sauron's "life force" is bound to the Ring, he is not completely

The Fellowship of the Ring takes place in the Second Age in the fantasy world of Middle Earth, after Dark Lord Sauron forged multiple corrupting rings as gifts to the rulers of Middle Earth. The central focus of the film, the One Ring, was forged by Sauron in addition to the other rings as a means to control the ring bearers in a plot to conquer all of Middle Earth. The One Ring was lost during a war between Sauron’s Orc
bound to notice and tell the original someone who lost the ring. This is what would have happened in Lord of the Rings if the Fellowship tried to take the Eagles to Mordor. Sauron, the maker of the ring, had many spies all over Middle Earth looking for the ring and reporting back to him. Not only would finding this ring give Sauron the ability to enslave everyone in Middle Earth, it would also grant him a new body. This is why Gandalf elected to have a small and quick group to take the ring, as to not
film the “Lord Of The Rings”, there is a great evil called Sauron. The whole film is based on the theme of good Vs evil. The opening scene is about these rings being forged and given too different types of people like, elves, dwarfs and humans. From here you can tell that this film is not natural, you can tell that this is a fantasy film. The film revolves around Sauron and his evil army that, try and get the ring from Frodo.

Lord of the Rings: fellowship of the Ring is the first part of the trilogy of Lord of the Rings. When it first saw the light of day it was made as a book by J.R.R Tolkien on July 29th 1954 and gained massive popularity due to the wonderful detail and passion put into the book, not to mention that the book was also massive and that is why there are three movies and only one book because it was so big that if they put it into one movie it would be about 20 hours long. After the huge popularity of the
the movies are Sauron, the creator of the Ring, and Aragorn, the exiled king. These two are personified by two vastly different leadership styles. Sauron, an evil lord, is represented by a more conniving, egotistical manner of leadership, who did not do much beneficial work to help his disciples and generally served only to advance towards a better good for himself. Sauron has a general disdain for his followers and could not care less who had to die on the way to his victory. Sauron was only concerned
anyone that comes in contact with it. When Sauron forged the Ring, he infused his own power and soul into it to ensure that it had the power needed for him to reach his goals. It is because of this that it doesn’t matter if one’s intention is to do good, all that is done with the Ring, including the ring bearer, becomes evil through its corrupt influence. The Ring is a representation
