    Starkin A Thesis Presented for the Master of Arts in Creative Writing Degree The University of Tennessee, Chattanooga Rebecca W. Miller March 20 Copyright 2010 by Rebecca W. Miller All rights reserved. Acknowledgment I would like to say thank you to all the professors at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga who helped me complete my thesis. Sybil Baker, Thomas Balazs, Earl Braggs, Joyce Smith and many others have helped influence my writing for the better over the last few years. I appreciate the opportunity to work with them to realize my dream of completing my master‘s degree. Also, I could not have survived the trials of graduate school along with my full-time job if it were not for the endless support of my friends and family. I am very happy that I could count on Mom, Dad, Alex, Grandma, Fundy, Crystal and Holly to give me their full support as well as a kick in the pants when needed. Abstract In traditional fantasy novels, as established with J.R.R. Tolkien‘s Lord of the Rings, the main character embarks on a heroic journey. As defined by Joseph Campbell, who was the author, editor and translator of books on mythology such as The Hero with a Thousand Faces a heroic journey is an epic quest that leads the hero physically to an internal rebirth. Within Campbell‘s study of the monomyth, using those conventions outlined by Campbell, I will show how Tolkien elements uses Campbell‘s conventions in Middle Earth, where a simple young hobbit ends up saving his world.

  • Readers' Guide
    Readers’ Guide for by J.R.R. Tolkien ABOUT THE BOOK Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit— a hairy-footed race of diminutive peoples in J.R.R. Tolkien’s imaginary world of Middle-earth — and the protagonist of The Hobbit (full title: The Hobbit or There and Back Again), Tolkien’s fantasy novel for children first published in 1937. Bilbo enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar. He does not seek out excitement or adventure. But his contentment is dis- turbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an adventure. They have launched a plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum, and entwine his fate with armies of goblins, elves, men and dwarves. He also discovers he’s more mischievous, sneaky and clever than he ever thought possible, and on his adventure, he finds the courage and strength to do the most surprising things. The plot of The Hobbit, and the circumstances and background of magic ring, later become central to the events of Tolkien’s more adult fantasy sequel, The Lord of the Rings. “One of the best children’s books of this century.” — W. H. AUDEN “One of the most freshly original and delightfully imaginative books for children that have appeared in many a long day .

Selvalakshmi 1Ph D Scholar in English Dept, Karpagam Academy of Higher Education, Coimbatore, India 2Professor & Head, Department of English , Karpagam Academy of Higher Education ,Coimbatore, India E-mail: [email protected] 1, [email protected] Received: 14 March 2020 Revised and Accepted: 8 July 2020 ABSTRACT: Every human being has the power of imagination, which most people use to think about life and make plans for their future. But, mostly, they do not think beyond the real world. Only a few people like novelists and scientists give more importance to their creativity. In fantasy novels, imaginative power is the key element to unlock a story which is stored in the mind. The author gives soul to the story with his imagination. J.R.R. Tolkien, a well-known twentieth century British writer, has used his incomparable imaginative power to create a new world ‗Middle-Earth‘ and a new creature like hobbit, a fictional character. ―In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit‖ (The Hobbit 3). Tolkien created Middle-Earth and fictional characters inspired by Anglo- Saxon literature when he was working as a professor of English Language and Literature in Merton College, Oxford. I. INTRODUCTION Fantasy has become a major area of profit-making fiction. Tolkien‘s The Hobbit is inscription on behalf of both kids and adult readers. The Hobbit is a fantasy novel influenced by the myths and languages of Northern European literature.
