One of the movies that play on different scenes from The Lord of the Rings is Harry Potter. Similar scenes from The Lord of the Rings can be seen in many scenes from the Harry Potter book and move series. The similarities can be seen in different objects‚ characters‚ creatures‚ and situations throughout the series. I noticed

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us‚” (LotR 51). Death is a necessary evil‚ an end to life. It’s what we do with our life that is most important.

Tolkien has experienced a resurgence of interest in the last two decades-in a large part thanks to Peter Jackson’s film adaptations of both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. However I do not wish to look at the movies‚ or indeed at any of Tolkien’s more prevalent work. I wish to focus on his poetry‚ the poems woven into the narrative of his popular novels (including revised versions published in The History of Middle-earth series) as well as his stand-alone pieces that may have little to do with

Sometimes they’re obvious and other times they’re masked though they are without a doubt the most familiar battles occurring on earth. In J.R.R. Tolkien’s Fellowship of the Ring‚ the struggle for power over Middle-Earth and the formation and battle of opposing forces of good and evil is the primary focus in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The main conflicts seen and foreshadowed in FoTR are man versus man‚ and man versus nature. What is considered good and evil is often subjective in today’s society
