  • Essay / The Lord of the Rings - 956

    The Lord of the RingsTolkien's famous book, "The Lord of the Rings", has been repudiated as one of the best fantasies ever written. Tolkien creates a very deep intimacy between the book and the reader, he captures the reader's attention and draws them into the story. One way this cathartic relationship is created is by using the reality of the situation in the story. Tolkien imagined fantastical language to show the reality that this novel can present. Some quotes from this language are: "eleventh birthday" "The invitation was limited to twelve dozen (a number also called Gross by the hobbits)" "Many young hobbits were included and present with parental permission because hobbits were easy to live with their children about staying up late." “What can we want?” “It was a land without joy” “The hobbits rejoiced merrily.” of humor. This humor can also express the cheerfulness of the people we are talking about. The language, in English, is not entirely incorrect, but it is odd, strange and different, which fits the theme and plot. Tolkien, like almost every other author, has one main and specific goal when presenting the story, which is to capture the reader's attention. At the beginning of The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien presents events of happiness, mystery, stories of power, chases led by evil horsemen, battles and strange encounters. Through this process, Tolkien was able to capture the reader's attention, even though, at first, there is not much understanding of the condition and state of the tale. Later in the story, in the “Council of Ehond,” Tolkien regains control of the story and presents understanding. At that point, the reader understands the story and also looks forward to reading further. Tolkien thought of it to better attract attention and then promote understanding of the tale. The Lord of the Rings is indeed a fantasy book with moments of happiness, war, mystery, conflict and passion. In order to create the full cathartic effect of presenting and expressing the magnitude of each feeling's potential, emphasis must be placed. If the accent were not used, the essence of “Lord of the Rings” could not be as it is; it would be a monotonous tale without any event of objects of great importance.
