The grand splendor of imagination and intelligence is brought to its greatest height in J.R.R Tolkien’s series “ The Lord of the Rings”. This genius author created the story that gives most audiences certain views and opinions about the tale. The reasons this story caught my eye where because of its values, good vs. evil, and I am attracted to things that are emotionally involved.
Lord of the Rings has many striking values such as: love, trust friendship, loyalty, and courage. Every one needs to feel love no matter what form. The love between each character links to all. through their sacrifice their love grows. The sacrifice of risking their life’s for one another forms the strongest bond of love between them. Another necessary bond that was met was trust. You need to trust who you love, and love who you trust. Of coarse trust was formed through the many trials that they shared together; it was crucial that trust was created in order to have willingness to sacrifice for one another. Their friendship and loyalty kept them strong through the difficult times. By bonding together and standing side-by-side to what have might been the end. They gained loyalty and friendship through out their journey. All the races in the fellowship and out had courage. They may have been afraid when they thought about what was going to happen, but when it came time to do their task they did it; whether saving another or giving their own life freely for another. Fordo was the ultimate symbol if courage. Although he was small, and knew it, he gave his all for the freedom of middle earth. Overall these values are so important to every day life; and this journey shows it. This is one reason why it was such a pleasure to me.
Most Christian religions believe that when the end of the world comes good will win over evil. In this story it came about. If there was no good in the world it would be non- existent. Good is what makes the world wonderful; and in Lord of the Rings this is displayed. This is what the story what it is. It illustrates how one person can affect the whole world.
The Lord of the Rings series is fill of emotion; it is what the story is mostly made up of. Emotion grabs my mind and doesn’t let go, and I am always attracted to “feeling” subjects. It feeds my mind in away that is indescribable. IT is something I love and always will. I often cry, or jump in the theme that takes emotion. The characters in this legend attach the audience to feel a bond with the actors, which will then stay in your heart.
This Fantasy epic is easily adored by most audiences, because of it’s wonderful adventurous feel, magnificent values, and breathtaking emotional attachment. I know it captured my heart and it is something that will always affect my life. NO matter how I might express my loving feelings about Lord of the Rings it can never be described in words. J.R.R Tolkien also holds a very special place in my heart, for he is the creator of Middle Earth. I will never fully know why I am attached to this story, but I will always know how I feel.
