  • Tolkien's Women: the Medieval Modern in the Lord of the Rings
    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.

  • 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.

Introduction In one of his letters, Tolkien reveals that once there was a time when he wanted to write an extensive legend for his country, England (Letters 168). Since then, he has created a magnificent fantasy legendarium in a made-up universe, and The Lord of the Rings (LotR) trilogy is in the very centre of it. With his “arguably the greatest fantasy epic of all time” (Schumacher), he is considered to be the father of the modern fantasy. His extensive and extraordinary work has inspired others to write and read fantasy novels.

  • Name Calling: Group Identity and the Other Among First Age Elves
    Character Biography: Arwen Undómiel 1 ____ Character Biography Arwen Undómiel By Oshun ___ Arwen Undómiel was born to Elrond and Celebrían in Rivendell in year 241 of the Third Age. She was the last of three children of the Lord and Lady of Rivendell, having two older brothers, the twins Elrohir and Elladan. Like her brothers, Arwen is a descendant of a throng of important characters from the First Age of Arda whose tales are told in The Silmarillion. Through Elrond and Celebrían, she represents the bloodlines of the highest in status and most narratively important of both Elves and Men within Tolkien's legendarium. Arwen's Elvish antecedents reached back into the royal houses of the Noldor and the Vanyar in Valinor and earlier, as well as the Sindar in Middle-earth and the Teleri in Alqualondë in Aman. Among the Secondborn or Edain, she had roots within the Houses of Hador, Haleth, and Bëor.1 Her mother Celebrían was the daughter of Galadriel, who was the granddaughter of King Finwë of the Noldor, the daughter of Finwë's son Finarfin, who was to become king of the remnants of the Noldor in Valinor after he did not follow Fëanor to Middle-earth along with the rest of his people. Finarfin married Eärwen daughter of Olwë King of the Teleri in Alqualondë. Celebrían's father was Celeborn, considered to be a prince of the Sindar as a kinsman of Thingol, King of Doriath. 2 (There exists an entire alternate history for Celeborn—Teleporno, a Teler of Valinor3—which is best addressed on its own at another time.) Elrond traces his heritage before the Hobbits and the other attendees at the Council of Elrond in Rivendell, stating, "Eärendil was my sire, who was born in Gondolin before its fall; and my mother was Elwing, daughter of Dior, son of Lúthien of Doriath.

Rings has garnered millions of fans around the world. The stunning film tril- ogy by Peter Jackson was groundbreaking, beautiful, and, as expected, hugely successful. The Lord of the Films is a unique guide to those films, and author J.W. Braun tackles every scene in each movie on four different fronts: a closer look at the plot and the action, behind-the-scenes information, a reveal of mistakes that THE UNOFFICIAL GUIDE TO slipped through, and audiences’ reactions. In addition to Jackson’s famous TOLKIEN’S MIDDLE EARTH ON THE BIG SCREEN trilogy, other Tolkien-based films (such as the animated adaptations) are covered. As an added bonus, Braun reveals details about the prequel films currently in production and due out in theaters in 2011 and 2012. Look inside to find: The ❍ which two actors, both last-minute replacements for their parts, were thrown together and formed a lifelong bond as a result LORD ❍ which scene was written into the script after a fan wrote a letter to the filmmakers, explaining that it was Tolkien’s best writing ❍ what piece of music from The Fellowship of the Ring was edited directly into The Two Towers score ❍ which actors in these films were big fans of Tolkien when they auditioned, and which actors had never read The Lord of the Rings before joining of the the project 70 It’s all here, along with interviews, games and puzzles, and over exclusive FILMS illustrations and photographs.

  • Songs in Middle-Earth Ellory Busch Marquette University
    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette 4610 English: Individual Authors: J.R.R. Tolkien English Department 10-1-2015 Songs in Middle-earth Ellory Busch Marquette University A paper completed for English 4610. Ellory Busch Gerard Canavan English 4610 12/18/15 Songs in Middle-earth J.R.R. Tolkien created a world filled with myth and magic in his Legendarium. This world has a rich history, much of which is laid out in The Silmarillion. The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings tell the story of a great quest, a story that is worth reading. Within this story, many stories are told through the language of songs. Songs and poetry shape the Legendarium and have unique elements among different cultural groups and in different parts of Middle-earth. At the basis of music, however, is a higher power. The creation of everything on earth was born out of a song, and at the end of time this song will be perfected. When the Legendarium is read with an emphasis on the creation of music, the themes of honor, prophecy, and perilous journey all end up pointing to a higher power. Songs and music are not only a frequent element in the Legendarium, but they are an essential part of Tolkien’s writing. The importance of songs in Middle-earth, and to each individual character that uses music as a form of expression, is fully realized when reading Ainulindalë at the beginning of The Silmarillion. At the very beginning of time, the reader finds Ilúvatar, the God and Creator of Arda, surrounded by the Ainur.
