In the movie The Lord of The rings (LOTR) directed by Peter Jackson, Peter showed us that throughout time people have had to carry to uphold major burdens on their shoulders but there can be positive outcomes.
In the film LOTR Directed by Peter Jackson one of the main protagonists Frodo Beggins is faced with a heavy burden of getting one ring that has the power to control all of middle earth “ One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them” ( LOTR The Fellowship of The Ring, Peter Jackson) to Mt. Doom and destroying it so the the main antagonist of the movie Sauron can’t get a hold of the ring and take over. Frodo in The Fellowship of the ring has tried to give the ring away three different times first to Gandalf the Grey, Second time to Galadriel, and a third to Aragorn, because he didn’t want to hold the burden of carrying the ring, because he is feeling the ring growing stronger in power and his mental strength is weak and not as strong as those three, “ Frodo: [telepathically] If you ask it of me, I will give you the One Ring. Galadriel: You offer it to me freely? I do not deny that my heart has greatly desired this.

While on her journey the Nazgul showed up and started to follow her and Frodo putting both them “ Arwen: Frodo? Frodo, no! ‘Arwen: Frodo, don 't give in! Not now! ‘Arwen: [voiceover] What Grace is given me, let it pass to him. Let him be spared. Save him.” ( LOTR The Fellowship of the Rings), and all of Middle Earth in danger. The one place they had to get was to the river near Rivendell because that was where they were safe because there Arwen has power and magic so she summons the river and water horses appear and protects them from the Nazgul because they can not pass the wall of water. “ 'Waters of the Misty Mountains listen to the great word;flow waters of Loudwater against the Ringwraiths!” (LOTR The fellowship of the
The idea of a “human action” myth is displayed in “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.” Frodo is a character that fights against his own fate, as well as the supernatural force of the One Ring. Similarly, these ideas over shadow works in classical mythology.
“Yes, sooner or later—later, if he is strong or well-meaning to begin with but neither strength nor good purpose will last—sooner or later the dark power will devour him” (141). This quote from Gandalf shows him warning Frodo about the power of the Ring in The Fellowship of the Ring: Book One. This quote displays J.R.R. Tolkien’s mistrust of unlimited power, which he expresses in each of his books. He served in World War I where he saw the effects of tyrannical leaders with unlimited power firsthand. Tolkien believed that with great power comes corruption. So, no one person can be trusted to wield so much power. He demonstrates this in each character that has a role of leadership of the different groups of Middle-earth. Galadriel, Boromir, and Saruman, all hold positions of power or influence within their various groups. Yet none of them could be trusted to possess the dark power of the Ring, while the simple hobbit named Frodo seems to be able to carry on the
...; and if by life or death I can save you, I will,” (194). Aragorn, also known as Strider, accompanied the hobbits from the Prancing Pony Inn all the way to the Council of Elrond. Gandalf was also a guiding path for Frodo keeping him updated on the evils of the Ring. I CAN’T FIND A QUOTE. But even with all his guidance Frodo still feels temptation from this Ring of power. “A sudden unreasoning fear of discovery laid hold of Frodo, and he thought of his Ring. He hardly dared to breathe, and yet the desire to get it out of his pocket became so strong that he began slowly to move his hand. He felt that he had only to slip it on, and then he would be safe,” (83). Frodo Baggins with knowledge and guidance was able to make good choices throughout his journey to Mordor in the Fellowship of the Ring because of his knowledge of the Ring and the guidance that surrounded him.
Just before he leaves, Gandalf asks Bilbo for his ring. Due to the power in which the ring possesses while it is in his possession, he does not want to give it up. The novel ends with the destruction of the Fellowship due to the power in which the ring contains. One of the prime facts of the Middle Earth is power. Power is not neutral, but is always evil.
“His love for Frodo rose above all other thoughts, and forgetting his peril he cried aloud: 'I'm coming Mr. Frodo!” Throughout the Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R Tolkien, one of the most prominent themes present is the life and world changing effects of love. Tolkien reveals the importance of both love, and the different types of love; love among brothers, family, lovers, leaders, animals, and of country are all shown. With numerous examples of the different kinds of love responsible for saving Middle Earth, Tolkien is able to convey the significance and impact of love.

Tolkien'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 lures him into the story. One of the ways how this cathartic relationship is created is through the use of reality of the situation in the story. Tolkien has conjured up a fantasy language, to show the actuality this novel may present. Some quotations of this language are:
It is likely for one to assume that a classic piece of literature set in a fantasy oriented stage will have no merits to the youths of today. The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien, however, with its crafty of usage symbolism, displays its relevance to issues that often trouble teens. As the story progresses from a children’s tale to an epic, the main character Bilbo undergoes a series of development, his experiences often overlapping with ordinary people. Reading the Hobbit will provide teens with opportunities of exploring the importance of several common but serious topics. People may encounter many of the themes presented in the book elsewhere repeatedly, but it’s possible that they never appreciated the applications it might have on themselves. When teens read the Hobbit, they perceive it as a simple fiction of adventure. Under proper guiding, they will be able to recognize and utilize the lessons of the Hobbit, and improve their attitudes and ideas about life.
The two Hobbits set off on a journey in which they meet up with others that join them on their journey such as Gimli the "Dwarf", Legolas the "Elven" archer, Boromir a "Human" tracker, Aragorn the heir to the "Human" throne, two more "Hobbits" Merry, Pippin and the powerful "Wizard" Gandalf. They travel across "Middle Earth" fighting off many "Orcs" and "Black Riders" which are in search of the ring by the orders of the powerful evil "Wizard" Sauron. During their quest, they encounter many ambushes by the "Orcs" which they overcome and usually slay. In some of the ambushes, Frodo uses his ring to become invisible to escape from the "Orcs" and "Black Riders".
As we see in the beginning of the film, Frodo lives a typical hobbit life, rarely stepping out of his comfort zone. He then encounters the ring, which sets in motion a life-changing journey that he was not expecting. When Frodo realizes he has to let go of
Gandalf insists that Frodo must leave The Shire with the ring to get it destroyed, and he makes it clear to Frodo to never to put the ring on. Even though Frodo is in love with his shire, he wants to protect it, so he agrees to leave. Gandalf tells him, “My dear Frodo, Hobbits really are amazing creatures. You can learn all that there is to know about their ways in a month, and yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you” (Jackson 33). Gandalf never thought a Hobbit would be willing of this task. This is the first time you see Frodo step out of his comfort zone to do a good deed. When Frodo sets foot with his three friends Sam, Pippin, and Merry, they do not have a set plan. They want to get to Rivendell. Frodo fears what’s to come, and does not know if he can handle it. The boys run into an unwelcoming guest on the side of the
