  • CLASSICAL EPIC in the WORKS of J.R.R. TOLKIEN by Hannah Parry
    1 CLASSICAL EPIC IN THE WORKS OF J.R.R. TOLKIEN By Hannah Parry A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in English Victoria University of Wellington February 2012 2 Abstract The Lord of the Rings has often been described as an 'epic', and although Tolkien drew most famously on Northern mythology in his creation of Middle-earth much of his work also bears similarities to classical epic, both with regard to particular characters and archetypes and to more general themes and motifs. This thesis examines the connections between The Lord of the Rings and the epics of Homer and Virgil, investigating the manner in which these allusions function in Tolkien and how they contribute to our understanding of Middle- earth as at least partially an epic world with epic ideals of heroism. At the same time, however, it identifies the ways in which Tolkien changes or subverts such classical ideals and archetypes as they combine with other cultural influences. Following the model established in The Hobbit , The Lord of the Rings begins with the folk-tale heroes and setting of the Shire before gradually moving into an epic world. Not only heroes such as Aragorn, but less obviously epic heroes such as Gandalf, Frodo and Sam, draw frequently on the iconography and motifs associated with specific and general classical figures, while women such as Arwen, Eowyn and Galadriel can similarly be read as part of classical tradition. Moreover, despite the purely fictional nature of Middle-earth in contrast to the historical (if mythologised) cultures of classical epic, The Lord of the Rings contains many examples of epic type-scenes that in classical epic illustrate the correct manner in which a hero should behave both in peace and in battle.

But the scenario is very different from most other scenarios in that you have a random quest deck that pumps out a side-quest every round. This is one case where the uniqueness rule is really important, else people could easily play both of these versions in the same deck. While there is another Tentacle enemy in play, The Watcher cannot be optionally engaged. This pack also introduced Asfaloth, which can place progress on locations every round. Still, if you want to explore the Silvan trait, get this pack early! While players looking to improve their Silvan decks will also want to pick up The Dunland Trap, Trouble in Tharbad should be their next purchase afterwards. This is a team-effort though, and proper communication is required to make sure that the right cards are eliminated from your list, resulting in a final battle where you try to capture and kill the villain. They reached the strip of dry land between the lake and the cliffs: it was narrow, often hardly a dozen yards across, and encumbered with fallen rock and stones; but they found a way, hugging the cliff, and keeping as far from the dark water as they might.

  • The Lord of the Rings: the Card Game.)
    Caradhras Caradhras has the text, “Players cannot travel to Caradhras except by quest card effects.” This means that no card effect, other than one on a quest card, can make Caradhras the active location. Secrecy X Keyword Secrecy is a new keyword introduced on player cards in the Dwarrowdelf Cycle. Secrecy lowers the cost to play the card by the specified value, provided the threat of the The Redhorn Gate player who is playing the card is 20 or below. Secrecy only applies when the card is played from hand, and never Difficulty Level = 6 modifies the printed cost of the card. Arwen wishes to visit her father Elrond, and Celeborn has bid the heroes to escort her over the Misty Mountains and safely to Rivendell. But the season grows late, and a sudden chill has descended on the three peaks that guard the Redhorn pass. “The Redhorn Gate” is played with an encounter deck built with all the cards from the following encounter sets: The Redhorn Gate, The Misty Mountains. (The Misty Mountains can be found in the Khazad-dûm deluxe expansion to The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game.) Setup When setting up “The Redhorn Gate,” remove all copies of Snowstorm from the encounter deck, and set them aside, out of play. These cards are placed away from the playing area and do not interact with the game until instructed by the cards of the scenario. Ally Objective: Arwen Und miel In this scenario, the players must guard an “ally objective” card, Arwen Undómiel. This card has a constant effect that reads, “The first player gains control of Arwen Undómiel, as an ally.” This means that the first player takes control of Arwen Undómiel, and can use her in the same manner he would use any ally he controls.

  • Samwise Gamgee: Beauty, Truth, and Heroism in J.R.R
    Chichester 1 Samwise Gamgee: Beauty, Truth, and Heroism in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings A Thesis Submitted to The Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences In Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts in English By Christine L. Chichester April 2015 Chichester 2 Liberty University College of Arts and Sciences Master of Arts in English Karen Swallow Prior, Ph.D. Date Thesis Chair Emily Walker Heady, Ph.D. Date Committee Member Brian Melton, Ph.D. Date Committee Member Chichester 3 Abstract The Lord of the Rings is a well-established part of fantasy’s literary canon because of J.R.R. Tolkien’s creative imaginary setting and his use of legendary characters. However, this story, and in particular, its use of the archetypal hero’s journey deals not only in the Beauty of myth, but also in the universal Truth of Story. Tolkien combines aspects of well-established archetypes with unchanging Truth in order to create a fitting and ultimately Good depiction of heroism. This thesis seeks to examine how Samwise Gamgee, an unexpected hero, experiences or does not experience the stages of Joseph Campbell’s Adventure of the Hero with the intention of discovering how both Truth and Beauty play into unconventional heroism. Chichester 4 Dedication To my husband, Steven who did not quell my love for Tolkien and who, in patiently supporting my thesis-adventure, has unknowingly been woven into its pages and its very heart.

  • Fishes of Middle-Earth
    Fishes of Middle-Earth A Field Guide to What Species Would Be There as well as Those Seen in the Books and Movies By Philip W. Willink Ph.D. Version 2.0 2008 / October Table of Contents Introduction Chapter I – What Fish Species Would Be in Middle-Earth Chapter II – Fishes that Could be Encountered during The Hobbit Adventure Chapter III – Those Fish Species Seen in the Lord of the Rings Movies Appendix – Fish References in The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings Novels Bibliography Acknowledgements Contact Information Introduction This manuscript is intended to introduce the reader to the diversity of fishes living in Middle- Earth during the Third Age. Think of it as something Radagast the Brown would have written. (And perhaps someday a scribe going through the library in Minas Tirith will find such a document.) Not every fish species is included here, as that would be overwhelming. Rather, the focus is on the more dramatic, dangerous, and / or edible fishes that could have been encountered during The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings adventures. Small minnows, oceanic fishes, etc. are not covered here. The basis for the species descriptions is the supposition that Middle-Earth is the forerunner of modern day Europe. Tolkien claimed that this was the case, but at other times recanted his statement (Harvey 2003)). In short, The Shire very much resembles England. The Rohirrim are Scandanavian-like people originally from the headwaters of the Anduin River. This would place Norway / Sweden in the northern Misty Mountains. Gondor has a very Greco- Roman influence.
