    Tolkien’s Women: The Medieval Modern in The Lord of the Rings Jon Michael Darga Tolkien’s Women: The Medieval Modern in The Lord of the Rings by Jon Michael Darga A thesis presented for the B.A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2014 © 2014 Jon Michael Darga For my cohort, for the support and for the laughter Acknowledgements My thanks go, first and foremost, to my advisor Andrea Zemgulys. She took a risk agreeing to work with a student she had never met on a book she had no academic experience in, and in doing so she gave me the opportunity of my undergraduate career. Andrea knew exactly when to provide her input and when it was best to prod and encourage me and then step out of the way; yet she was always there if I needed her, and every book that she recommended opened up a significant new argument that changed my thesis for the better. The independence and guidance she gave me has resulted in a project I am so, so proud of, and so grateful to her for. I feel so lucky to have had an advisor who could make me laugh while telling me how badly my thesis needed work, who didn’t judge me when I came to her sleep-deprived or couldn’t express myself, and who shared my passion through her willingness to join and guide me on this ride. Her constant encouragement kept me going. I also owe a distinct debt of gratitude to Gillian White, who led my cohort during the fall semester.

The focus is on leadership and female domination pictures. Just as the role of kings and princes, the role of their female hero is defined. There are strong and weak women, but by a special interest in the contribution is the development of the last of the first to power versus strength. Leadership means to deal with one's own person, 'self-rule, then, of rulers'. In fairy tales, we find different styles of leadership and management tools. As properties of the good boss is praised in particular the decision-making and less the organizational skills.

  • Defining Fantasy
    1 DEFINING FANTASY by Steven S. Long This article is my take on what makes a story Fantasy, the major elements that tend to appear in Fantasy, and perhaps most importantly what the different subgenres of Fantasy are (and what distinguishes them). I’ve adapted it from Chapter One of my book Fantasy Hero, available from Hero Games at www.herogames.com, by eliminating or changing most (but not all) references to gaming and gamers. My insights on Fantasy may not be new or revelatory, but hopefully they at least establish a common ground for discussion. I often find that when people talk about Fantasy they run into trouble right away because they don’t define their terms. A person will use the term “Swords and Sorcery” or “Epic Fantasy” without explaining what he means by that. Since other people may interpret those terms differently, this leads to confusion on the part of the reader, misunderstandings, and all sorts of other frustrating nonsense. So I’m going to define my terms right off the bat. When I say a story is a Swords and Sorcery story, you can be sure that it falls within the general definitions and tropes discussed below. The same goes for Epic Fantasy or any other type of Fantasy tale. Please note that my goal here isn’t necessarily to persuade anyone to agree with me — I hope you will, but that’s not the point. What I call “Epic Fantasy” you may refer to as “Heroic Fantasy” or “Quest Fantasy” or “High Fantasy.” I don’t really care.

Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2018 Abstract Works of Epic Fantasy often have the reputation of being formulaic, conservative works that simply replicate the same tired story lines and characters over and over. This assumption prevents Epic Fantasy works from achieving wide critical acceptance resulting in an under-analyzed and under-appreciated genre of literature. While some early works do follow the same narrative path as J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, Epic Fantasy has long challenged and reworked these narratives and character tropes. That many works of Epic Fantasy choose replicate the patriarchal structures found in our world is disappointing, but it is not an inherent feature of the genre.

  • A New Fantasy Series Created by Kate Madison And
    A NEW FANTASY SERIES CREATED BY KATE MADISON AND CHRISTOPHER DANE REN is a new exciting fantasy drama series, with high-end TV production values, created for the ever growing online audience. It tells the story of a young woman who, after an otherworldly encoun- ter in the woods, is marked by an ancient spirit. Cast out from her small village, she is forced to leave behind the family she has spent her whole life protecting and journey across the country to find the real meaning behind the mark she now bears. The aim for the now completed Season One is to create the basis for a long lasting new fantasy franchise. As a made-for-the-internet feature my first project Born of Hope has been a major success story. Over 35 million views on platforms like YouTube and Daily Motion has made it the most watched Lord of the Rings tribute film. The entire team honed their skills attempting to create a world that could easily sit next to Peter Jackson’s trilogy... and succeeded. With Ren it was important for me to create a NEW world, where nobody has ever been before, to make it exciting for both our loyal Born of Hope fans and a whole new group of fantasy fans. It was also very important that we did not compromise on the quality of what we were creating, so every member of the team aimed for high-end TV production values... and succeeded. Bringing out the first season is obviously the big test, but I’m in no doubt that this is only the start of an amazing journey! Kate Madison These are some of the reactions to Season One from the fans It is indeed.

  • The Dark Lord Ascending
    — CHAPTER ONE — The Dark Lord Ascending The two men appeared out of nowhere, a few yards apart in the narrow, moonlit lane. For a second they stood quite still, wands directed at each other’s chests; then, recognising each other, they stowed their wands beneath their cloaks and started walking briskly in the same direction. ‘News?’ asked the taller of the two. ‘The best,’ replied Severus Snape. The lane was bordered on the left by wild, low-growing brambles, on the right by a high, neatly manicured hedge. The men’s long cloaks flapped around their ankles as they marched. ‘Thought I might be late,’ said Yaxley, his blunt features sliding in and out of sight as the branches of overhanging trees broke the moonlight. ‘It was a little trickier than I expected. But I hope he will be satisfied. You sound confident that your reception will be good?’ Snape nodded, but did not elaborate. They turned right, into a wide driveway that led off the lane. The high hedge curved with them, running off into the distance beyond the pair of impressive wrought-iron gates barring the men’s way. Neither of them broke step: in silence both raised their left arms in a kind of salute and passed straight through as though the dark metal were smoke. The yew hedges muffled the sound of the men’s footsteps. There was a rustle somewhere to their right: Yaxley drew his wand again, pointing it over his companion’s head, but the source of the noise proved to be nothing more than a pure white peacock, strutting majestically along the top of the hedge.

    投稿類別: 英文寫作 篇名: The Religious Elements in The Lord of the Rings 作者: 洪詠惠。國立師範大學附屬高級中學。高二 1318 班 指導老師: 余佳玟 老師 The Religious Elements in The Lord of The Ring I. Introduction Motivation and Purpose of the Study In 2001, when The Lord of The Rings was shot into a movie trilogy, I was fascinated. For more than forty times I’ve watched the trilogy, memorizing every quote and detail. After the story was rooted in my mind, I started to get interested in the ingredients that influenced the author while he built this epic fantasy. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was an English writer, poet, philologist, and university professor, best known as the author of the classic high fantasy works The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. (Biography,1977) The background of The Lord of the Rings was located in Middle-Earth, a world Tolkien created with fictive linguistics, geography, races, history and culture. In other words, Tolkien has originated an integrity world. (Biography,1977) The Lord of the Rings developed as a personal exploration by Tolkien of his interests in philology, religion, fairy tales, Norse and general Germanic mythology, and also Celtic, Slavic, Persian, Greek, and Finnish mythology, and the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf. (Letters, 1981)And also he put in his point of view towards industrialization and his personal experiences during his military service during World War One. (National Geographic.,2006) Above all those factors that influenced Tolkien, the religious and mythology elements interested me the most. Therefore, the thesis below explains how those elements were shown affecting The Lord of the Rings.
