Both Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and Rowling’s Harry Potter are heavily influenced by great wizards. On the surface‚ these wizards may seem to be very similar‚ but upon further analysis ‚it is obvious to the reader that they have many differences. Gandalf‚ from the Lord of The Ring series‚ is a wise old wizard who is not the strongest of all wizards. His power comes the love and courage that he teaches to many of the other main characters in The Lord of the Rings‚ but he is almost invincible. Albus

“Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Those with the power become corrupted‚ but so does the people under their authority. The Animal Farm novel portrays exactly how this takes place. Leaders may start off with the best of intentions but they often become power hungry and corrupt‚ resorting to all kinds of evilness in order to maintain their new status. For example‚ the idea of Animalism‚ first created by Old Major‚ in itself is a bright vision. It is only after Old Major’s

Travel through the setting of The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring The settings in this book changed many times from the hills of the Shire‚ where the hobbits live‚ to the deep darkness of the mines of Moria. The book takes place in Middle Earth‚ which is described by Tolkien as a mysterious place that is full of good and evil. The way Tolkien described each place is amazing and it is as if you were looking at a picture and copying it down into your head. The Shire

Intentionally Wicked: Thoughts on The Lord of the Rings and Our Motivation in Committing Evil Acts The Main Point: The following analysis deals with the nature and source of evil and whether‚ given our innate motives and moral obligation‚ we willingly choose to succumb to our desires or are slaves of our passion.

FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING PAPER by JOHN HARTUNG The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring is a movie that few can possibly hate. Not only is it an entertaining film‚ but it is also a compelling story. For Catholics‚ however‚ it is very compelling. The use of the characters‚ symbols‚ story-line‚ and more embody similarities between the movie and our Catholic faith. The ring taken upon by Frodo represents the cross. Just as the cross represents self-sacrifice for all the sin and suffering
