Plot21 3 4 The Dark Lord Sauron makes the One Ring in order to conquer the lands of Middle-earth. An army of Elves (small, creatures) and Men fights Sauron; during a battle, Prince Isildur separates Sauron from the Ring and defeats his army. However, the Dark Lord is not completely defeated, unless the Ring itself is destroyed. Later, Isildur is killed by Orcs (terrible creatures who are used as soldiers) and the Ring is lost in a river. Thousands of years later, Bilbo Baggins, a good hobbit, finds the Ring. Bilbo leaves the Ring to his nephew, Frodo. Meanwhile, the good Wizard, Gandalf, learns that the Ring is actually Sauron’s One Ring. The ring is dangerous. Gandalf tells Frodo and his friend Samwise Gamgee, to leave immediately with the Ring because the Orcs are coming to get it. Saruman the White, the leader of the wizards, tells Gandalf that the evil Sauron’s army will try and capture the Ring and kill Frodo. Gandalf tries to warn Frodo, but Saruman, who now supports the evil Sauron, imprisons Gandalf in his tower. Frodo and his fellow hobbits are attacked by Sauron’s army. Frodo is wounded but is later cured. Frodo finds Gandalf and they now know that the Ring can only be destroyed by throwing it into the fires of Mount Doom, where it was made. Frodo agrees to take the Ring to Mount Doom and is accompanied by his hobbit friends and Gandalf… D Answer the questions. 1 What does Sauron want to do? 4 Why must Frodo leave with the Ring? 2 Who takes the ring from Sauron? 5 Who does Saruman support? 3 Who finds the ring? 6 Why do Frodo and his friends go to Mount Doom? 158 The Lord of the Rings: th e Fellowship of the Ring The film The characters The Lord of the Rings trilogy Bilbo Baggins (Ian Holm) – an old hobbit who finds the was directed by Peter Jackson Ring and gives it to his nephew, Frodo. and consists of three fantasy- Frodo (Elijah Wood) – a hobbit who inherits the One Ring adventures: The Fellowship of from his uncle, Bilbo Baggins. the Ring (2001), The Two Towers Sam Gamgee (Sean Astin) – a hobbit gardener; Frodo’s best (2002) and The Return of the friend; he goes with Frodo on his journey.

  • LOTR and Beowulf: I Need a Hero
    Jestice/English 4 Lord of the Rings and Beowulf: I need a hero! (100 points) Directions: 1. On your own paper, and as you watch the selected scenes, answer the following questions by comparing and contrasting the heroism of Frodo Baggins to that of Beowulf. (The scene numbers are from the extended version; however, the scene titles are consistent with the regular edition.) 2. Use short answer but complete sentences. Fellowship of the Ring Scene 10: The Shadow of the Past Gandalf already has shown Frodo the One Ring and has told Frodo he must keep it hidden and safe. Frodo obliges. But when Gandalf tells him the story of the ring and that Frodo must take it out of the Shire, Frodo’s reaction is different. 1. Explain why Frodo reacts the way he does. Is this behavior fitting for a hero? Why or why not? Is Frodo a hero at this point of the story? 2. How does this differ from Beowulf’s call to adventure? Scene 27: The Council of Elrond Leaders from across Middle Earth have gathered in the Elvish capital of Rivendell to discuss the fate of the One Ring. Frodo has taken the ring to Rivendell for safekeeping. Having already tried unsuccessfully to destroy the ring, the leaders argue about who should take it to be consumed in the fires of Mordor. Frodo steps forward and accepts the challenge. 1. Frodo’s physical stature makes this journey seem impossible. What kinds of traits apparent so far in the story will help him overcome this deficiency? 2.

  • Saruman of Many Colors
    University of Iceland School of Humanities Departement of English Saruman of Many Colors A Hero of Liberal Pragmatism B.A. Essay Elfar Andri Aðalsteinsson Kt.: 1508922369 Supervisor: Matthew Whelpton May 2017 ABSTRACT This essay explores the role of the wizard Saruman the White in The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, and challenges the common conception that Saruman is a villain, instead arguing that Saruman is a hero espousing the values of liberal pragmatism. The policy goals and implicit values of Saruman are contested with his peer and ultimately opponent, Gandalf the Grey, later the White. Both wizards attempt to defeat Sauron but, where Saruman considers new methods, such as recruting the orcs, Gandalf is stuck in old methods and prejudices, as he is unwilling look for new races to recruit. Both wizards construct alliances to accomplish their goals but the racial composition of these alliances can be used to see the wizards in a new light. While Gandalf offers a conventional alliance of “the free” races of Middle Earth (Elves Dwarves, Men. Hobbits and Ents), Saruman can be seen as uniting the marginalised and down-trodden people and races, under a common banner with a common goal. In particular, Saruman brings enemies together into a strong functioning whole, showing that orcs and men can work and prosper together. Gandalf’s blinkered conservatism and Saruman’s pragmatic embrace of diversity are reflected symbolically in the symbolism of white and the rainbow of many colors. After examining all these points it becomes clear that Saruman the White is not the villain that he is assumed to be by Gandalf the Grey, later the White, and his followers in Middle Earth.

  • An Exploration of Character and Leadership in J.R.R Tolkien's Lord
    MJUR 2017, Issue 7 37 Concerning Power: An Exploration of Character and Leadership in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings Brittany Andrews Crown College Abstract Although seldom studied as a commentary on leadership and the various forms of underlying power, The Lord of the Rings offers extended insight on power and its relation to human nature. Tolkien recognizes the potential evil of power, but he also understands humanity’s need for leadership and power. It is in this paradox that the studies of John French and Bertram Raven are immensely insightful. In a 1959 study and continuing research of more recent years, French and Raven conclude that there are six basic types of social power used to influence people. Each of these bases of power can be found in characters in The Lord of the Rings. They are portrayed in a way that helps to illuminate the importance that Tolkien places on utilizing self-awareness, teamwork, and community when exercising power. Although seldom studied as a commentary on leadership and various forms of underlying power, The Lord of the Rings offers extended insight on power and its relation to human nature. There can be little doubt that, on a surface level, Tolkien is wary of power—Middle Earth almost falls due to a malicious buildup of it. While Tolkien’s not so subtle allusions to Hitler’s ironworks and proliferation of weapons fashion some of Tolkien’s political commentary, his exploration of leadership and human nature have far-wider applications. Tolkien recognizes the potential evil of power and how easily humans are swayed by the influence it promises, yet he also understands humanity’s need for leadership.
