CHAPTER 3 ANALYSIS in This Chapter, the Writer Wants to Analyze Sauron M a ; r i f a h | 22 CHAPTER 3 ANALYSIS In this chapter, the writer wants to analyze Sauron as antagonist character and the representations of Satan in Sauron’s character. By examining Sauron’s characters, the writer hopes to gain profound knowledge about him as the representation of Satan. 3.1 Sauron as Antagonist Character Antagonist is character that has tension or conflict with the main character. It can be in the shape of human or thing (Perrine 42). In this novel Sauron is one of antagonist character, he is one of the Maiar, Maiar is a demigod who was sent to help the Valar (god) to take care of the middle- world. Sauron was Morgoth subordinate. Morgoth is Valar who turned evil and became the dark lord in the first age. Sauron is ambitious to manage the middle-world that he becomes evil to realize it, especially after Morgoth dead. This statement can be seen from the quotation below: Other evils there are that may come. For Sauron, for himself but servant or emissary. Yet it is not our part master all tides of the word, but to do what is in us for the succor of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the field that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to ill(861). digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id M a ; r i f a h | 23 According to the statement above, Sauron is the servant of the Margot, but Sauron also the lieutenant that led slaves of Morgoth. He has a good strategy and cunning to lead the slaves. So, he has devices to do something with good strategy. The antagonist characterization of Sauron can be seen from what he does, when he does some think, and the explanation of the other character. However, Sauron is antagonist when his power was coming back. In this analysis the writer will explain the antagonist characteristics of Sauron such us: conflict maker and evil. 3.1.1 Immoral Sauron became the holder of the reins of power after Morgoth’s death. Sauron make conflict anywhere, he applied his bad plan to fight his enemy prolonged suffering. Eventually a lot of enemies to move against Sauron, as described below, Sauron have the nature of immoral that contradictory among the people, the authors here take two properties Sauron's most influential among other things conflict maker and evil. 3.1.1.1 Conflict Maker Sauron was the maker of the bloody conflict that destroys Region and destroyed many other regions of middle earth, especially the authority of the king Numenorean or commonly called the king Ar- Pharazon. King Ar- Pharazon is the strongest king at that time, his authority included of a large authority like Gondor and other place around it. So, Sauron wanted to battle digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id M a ; r i f a h | 24 his enemy directly. But factually Sauron was lost and he became the prisoner of king Ar – Pharazon. The first war with King Ar-Pharazon , Sauron loses is caused by the less armament and the lack of soldiers, Sauron is also seemingly hasty in making decisions to battle, so that he is losing on his side. Sauron feels that he is strong that he does not think the big power of his opponent. And then Sauron becomes prisoner, after being the prisoner he uses his tool to enter the territory of the kingdom Ar- Pharazon. Because Sauron cannot beat of Ar – Pharazon through weaponry, so that Sauron tries to get the credibility from the king, finally he is appointed to become king’s advisor. Sauron uses craftiness to deprave and give a bad influence to the king , Sauron has a bad plan by giving a bad influence to society of king Ar- Pharazon, he think that by giving a bad influence to so city of king Ar- Pharazon Sauron is easy to make conflict than he have to battle with the king Ar-Pharazon. After giving a bad influence to society of King Ar- Pharazon, king Ar-Pharazon lost. It can describe from quotation below: It reminds me of Numenor,’ said Faramir, and wondered to heart himself speak. ‘Of Numenor?’ said Eowyn. digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id M a ; r i f a h | 25 ‘Yes, ‘said Faramir,’of the land of westerners that foundered, and of the great dark wave climbing over the green lands and above the hills and coming on, darkness inescapable. I often dream of it (941). Sauron grows the seeds of conflict and takes advantage from Numenorean, Sauron persuades of Ar-Pharazon to worship Morgoth, and Sauron's deceit over, the king believes that the king and his people will gain immortality then king gather strength for raising an army to attack the country immortal, but the king and the people lost and sank in the ocean because there is never a timeless land. Another statement also said that Saur on like’s conflict can be read from this explanation. Since return to Mordor, Sauron had found it useful, he had few servants but many slave of fear, and still its chief purpose as of lead was to prevent escape from Mordor, thought if an enemy were so rash as to try to enter that land secretly (880). Sauron also attacks on several places after the return successfully performs until the shadow of Mordor gets to Rohan, Rohan is an important city for the enemies of Sauron as Gondor. Growing conditions does not produce the enemy Sauron. After getting victory, Sauron started a real war to go to Mordor as the power house. Here, he collects the power for fight his enemy that having big power. digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id M a ; r i f a h | 26 Sauron fight to getting peak of victory when he gets the area that is Gondor. Gondor is the center of the enemy's rule, so that if Gondor is already conquered, the other regions will be easy to be conquered too. ‘Hirgon I am, errand-rider of the Denethor, who bring you this token war. Gondor is in great need. Often the Rohirrim have aided us, but Lord Denethor asks for all your strength and all my speed maybe (781). In the quote above, territory of Gondor began to collapse because of the war against of Sauron and his slaves, as lead of Gondor, Denethor Start fear and asked for help from the knights to prevent strength of Sauron entry into Gondor. In the last battle to seize Gondor, Sauron finally got the victory, Sauron is pleased what has been achieved, but the victory does not last long. So, Sauron soon gathers strength and makes alliances. There are two major forces used by the enemies of Sauron. The first resistance led by Aragorn, Aragorn is a generation of official line of King of Gondor. The second led by Frodo, Frodo is a Hobbit who inherits the Ring from his uncle who is named Bilbo Baggins. Aragorn and Frodo choose a different way in destroying Sauron. Aragon destroys Sauron by crushing its allies and Frodo tries to destroy Sauron by the inherent strength of Sauron himself. digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id M a ; r i f a h | 27 According to explanation above, the character of antagonist’s Sauron is shown by his way to get power of the middle-world, being mastered of region, his cunning strategy to be the winner of war when he offers to his subordinate doing realization of Sauron’s ambition. He tries to get what he wants by doing something that shows the antagonist character, like making conflict, being leader of the middle - world, getting winner of the war and etc. 3.1.2 Evil Sauron is one of the characters that having evil character, he is the most powerful Maiar. He becomes the forces of darkness which is the scariest. Sauron as master of the darkness has power to develop his authority. In developing his authority, Sauron is more cunning in set the tactics. So, his enemy is carefully to fight him. The quotation will be shown below: Sauron also had watched us, and has long been preparing to attack us. He ruled Mordor from afar through Minas Morgul, where nine of his subordinates stayed, until everything is ready (779). In the sentence "Sauron also watching us, and has long been preparing" this means that Sauron thinks carefully before he takes action. In the realization his action of Sauron is helped by his slaves. In making conflict Sauron helped by his slaves, one of the loyal slaves is the Orcs, The Orcs are beasts with posture like a human being, sometimes like a giant, usually green skin, a face like a pig, a monkey or a monster with long fangs, fierce and digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id M a ; r i f a h | 28 savage nature.

What did Tolkien mean by this somewhat cryptic statement, which appears in an unpublished essay titled “Notes on motives in The Silmarillion” and nowhere else, and from which the tenth volume of The History of Middle-earth takes its title? Tolkien goes on to explain that Morgoth’s power was “disseminated” throughout Middle-earth; that it was “nowhere absent” though “nowhere absolute,” and was a prerequisite for using any sort of matter towards an evil magical end. If Arda is Morgoth’s Ring, with his power infusing the whole world, and Sauron’s “relatively smaller” power is, in comparison, “concentrated” in the Ring of his own making (MR 400), what might this imply if we follow this thread to the tangled knot at its end? In Middle-earth, it seems that evil suffers a steady decline from the cosmic to the petty over the course of “the long defeat” of Arda, in the same way that Verlyn Flieger demonstrates that Light in the legendarium appears in “progressively lessening intensities [, e]ach light […] dimmer than the one before it, splintered by Tolkien’s sub-creators” (Splintered Light, 60).

  • Death and the Númenóreans: Is This Life All There Is?
    Death and the Númenóreans: Is This Life All There Is? Eric Gilhooly / 16 Marzo, 2017 In Tolkien’s world of Arda, elves are the elder children of Ilúvatar, also known as the One. Elves receive the gift of immortality and their spirits will remain with the world until its end. But Ilúvatar’s younger children, men, are destined to be mortal. We see them, especially the men of Númenor, in desperate struggle with their mortality at various moments throughout Tolkien’s works. In these next pages I’d like to analyze and compare how two of the greatest men in Middle Earth’s legendarium faced death and the motives they held for their choices at death’s door. But before we look at our two examples of attitudes before death (and life), it would be wise to see what Tolkien himself writes as the view or oral tradition of the elves about men and death at the beginning of The Silmarillion: [Ilúvatar] willed that the hearts of Men should seek beyond the world and should find no rest therein. […] [T]he sons of Men die indeed, and leave the world; wherefore they are called the Guests, or the Strangers. Death is their fate, the gift of Ilúvatar, which as Time wears even the Powers shall envy. But Melkor has cast his shadow upon it, and confounded it with darkness, and brought forth evil out of good, and fear out of hope. Yet of old the Valar declared to the Elves in Valinor that Men shall join in the Second Music of the Ainur; whereas Ilúvatar has not revealed what he purposes for the Elves after the World’s end, and Melkor has not discovered it.

  • A Structural Analysis of J.R.R. Tolkien's Textural Composition
    A Structural Analysis of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Textural Composition Centering on The Silmarillion 文学研究科英文学専攻博士後期課程在学 松 本 裕 子 Yuko Matsumoto 1: Introduction/2: Methods/3: Textural Analysis/ 4: Compound Text/5: Conclusion Chapter 1: Introduction The purpose of this present thesis is to analyze the textural composition of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien’s The Silmarillion: The Silmarillion as a single published work separate from The Lord of the Rings (LOTR). Certainly, the former is very closely connected with the latter, especially, its last part, OF THE RINGS OF POWER AND THE THIRD AGE; the latter can be said to be a natural extension of the former in this sense. On the other hand, however, Quenta Silmarillion is formally supposed to be a single piece of work,1 though it is the essential part of The Silmarillion as a book. In brief there are two kinds of The Silmarillion, or more correctly, two levels of The Silmarillion: The Silmarillion in a broad sense and The (Quenta) Silmarillion in a narrow sense. This thesis treats The Silmarillion in the broad sense. Here we must not miss the following points. The work involved is based upon a vast corpus of materials put together under the title of The History of Middle-Earth: from which another book, Unfinished Tales, was published by Christopher Tolkien, his son, after Tolkien’s death. So it cannot be regarded as Tolkien’s edited work. Christopher Tolkien made a comment on that issue in the introduction of Unfinished Tales;2 1 The Silmarillion is made up of five parts of the tales: AINULINDALЁ, VALAQUENTA, Quenta Silmarillion, AKALLABÊTH, and OF THE RINGS OF POWER AND THE THIRD AGE.

  • Magic, Enchantment, and the True Nature of Power in the Lord of the Rings
    THE VICTORY OF HOPE: MAGIC, ENCHANTMENT, AND THE TRUE NATURE OF POWER IN THE LORD OF THE RINGS by ANSELM G. LEFAVE A THESIS Presented to the Departments of English and Religious Studies and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2020 An Abstract of the Thesis of Anselm LeFave for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Departments of English and Religious Studies to be taken June 2020 Title: The Victory of Hope: Magic, Enchantment, and the True Nature of Power in The Lord of the Rings Approved: Professor Elizabeth Wheeler Primary Thesis Advisor This thesis is an extended analysis of power in the fantasy writings of J.R.R. Tolkien, principally The Lord of the Rings. In it, I argue that the supernatural power which would colloquially be identified as “magic” can be distinguished into two fundamentally different kinds of power. The first kind is the power of evil, of Sauron and his servants, and is properly called “magic.” Magic, in this sense, arises from lust for power and dominance, and is used to enslave, conquer, and deceive. Magicians like Sauron use their power for no one but themselves and no purpose but their own. The second kind is the power of good, of the heroes of the story, and following Tolkien I call it “enchantment.” Enchantment arises from a subordination of one’s will to a higher purpose, coming from a person or reality higher than one’s self. Enchantment manifests in the world when a character chooses in accordance with that purpose which they have received from beyond themselves.

  • Christian Perspectives in the Lord of the Rings
    Christian Perspectives in The Lord of the Rings DIANE SPEED The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision. That is why I have not put in, or have cut out, practically all references to anything like “religion”, to cults or practices, in the imaginary world. For the religious element is absorbed into the story and the symbolism. This is a quotation from a letter written by Tolkien on 2 December 1953 to Robert Murray, S. J.1 Tolkien had sought Murray’s comments on galley-proofs and typescript of some parts of the text before its first appearance in print in 1954 and 1955. Murray had replied that he discerned “a positive compatibility with the order of Grace”, and compared the image of Galadriel to that of the Virgin Mary.2 In other words, if we follow Murray’s lead, we may decode the narrative of The Lord of the Rings to find an overall representation of the central Christian discourse of salvation through divine grace, or we may find suggestive similarities to individual figures, or perhaps moments, in the Christian story on which that discourse is based. On the same occasion, however, Murray had also expressed his doubts about what critics would be able to make of the book, because he thought it defied classification.3 Murray’s comments and Tolkien’s statement bring to the reader’s attention important questions about the meaning of The Lord of the Rings and the ways in which the author has proceeded to construct that meaning.

  • 8Th Grade Fellowship Summary
    8th Grade Fellowship Summary Since The Lord of the Rings is a trilogy of works and The Two Towers is the middle book, below is a summary of the first book, The Fellowship of the Ring, in case you have forgotten or have never read it. [Written by Geneva alumni Alex Ryden and Erica Shelton.] The Fellowship of the Ring Summary (This first section is a summary of events from the Silmarilion, which occurs prior to The Lord of the Rings series.) The story of Middle Earth starts long before the Fellowship, or even the Hobbit. All the books are set at the end of the Third Age, meaning quite a bit happened before them. In fact, in terms of importance, the War of the Ring is one of the smaller wars in Middle Earth history. Sauron is powerful, but he was only ever a second in command. His master is a fallen Valar. The Valar are the spirits who watch over the world of Middle Earth. They are similar in power to the ancient Greek gods, but they act more as protectors than rulers. Melkor was one of these, but he became obsessed with the desire to control the newly created world of Middle Earth. He attacks the other Valar. The land is torn apart and rebuilt constantly in their struggle, but eventually Melkor, also called Morgoth, is driven into hiding. The Valar create their own island to live on where they can watch Middle Earth. The first age starts with the appearance of the Elves in middle earth.

  • From the Silmarillion Chapter 19 of Beren and Lúthien
    from The Silmarillion Chapter 19 Of Beren and Lúthien Among the tales of sorrow and of ruin that come down to us from the darkness of those days there are yet some in which amid weeping there is joy and under the shadow of death light that endures. And of these histories most fair still in the ears of the Elves is the tale of Beren and Lúthien. Of their lives was made the Lay of Leithian, Release from Bondage, which is the longest save one of the songs concerning the world of old; but here is told in fewer words and without song. It has been told that Barahir would not for sake Dorthonion, and there Morgoth pursued him to his death, until at last there remained to him only twelve companions. Now the forest of Dorthonion rose southward into mountainous moors; and in the east of those highlands there lay a lake, Tarn Aeluin, with wild heaths about it, and all that land was pathless and untamed, for even in the days of the Long Peace none had dwelt there. But the waters of Tarn Aeluin were held in reverence, for they were clear and blue by day and by night were a mirror for the stars; and it was said that Melian herself had hollowed that water in the days of old. Thither Barahir and his outlaws withdrew, and there made their lair, and Morgoth could not discover it. But the rumour of the deeds of Barahir and his companions went far and wide; and Morgoth commanded Sauron to find them and destroy them.
