according to Machiavelli, looks out for his own good as well as the welfare of his country, even if that requires him to resort to deceitful means. There are many examples of Machiavellian princes in literature and one such example is Denethor, Steward of Gondor. In this paper I will first clarify a few quotes from The Prince, and then describe how Denethor fits the requirement for being a true prince, according to Machiavelli. In section 18 of The Prince, Machiavelli wrote this: “And so he needs to have
The first of the great kingdoms of men is Rohan.

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”
the kingdom of Gondor, and though the people of Gondor are amazed and frightened at first by the huge army of walking trees that accompany them, everyone smiles and accepts them when Gandalf and Aragorn reveal themselves. The brothers Denethor and Boromir, however, see that Aragorn brings knowledge from the North which will give their kingship over to Faramir, the true King, and so they secretly conspire against him. And so later on, when the forces of Mordor arrive to attack Gondor, they successfully
himself are that of a good leader. He displays humility upon meeting Aragorn. After Aragorn heals him, Faramir says, “’My lord, you called me. I come. What does the king command?’” (848). Faramir has waited in line to take over the stewardship of Gondor that his father Denethor held before him. The Ring overpowered his brother Boromir because of his lust for power, but Faramir displays humility and an understanding that the power is not truly his. Like a good steward, Faramir recognizes that a steward
Literary Comparison and Contrast Research Essay In The Eyes Have It by Philip K. Dick, an exciting world is discovered where language translation results in an incredible belief in the invasion of aliens, which is another demonstration of the skill of Dick in merging the ordinary with the extraordinary. However, Only Daughter by Sandra Cisneros portrays a sad, autobiographic narrative of a woman looking for her identity and recognition in a Mexican American family where cultural and familial expectations
Brandybuck, three of Frodo’s closest friends. There is also Gandalf, the wizard; Legolas Greenleaf, son of the Elf King of Northern Mirkwood; the dwarf Gimli, son of Gloin; Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and heir to the throne of Gondor; and Boromir, oldest son of the Steward of Gondor. They all have some talent or purpose in aiding Frodo in the quest. As the action rises the mood is often tense with suspense and a sense of doom. They are in constant danger, always being watched or hunted. The hobbits leave
In the foreword to the second edition, Tolkien affirmed The Lord of the Rings “was primarily linguistic in inspiration and was begun in order to provide the necessary background or ‘history’ for Elvish tongues” (Tolkien 2004:xxii). Without a doubt, language is the foundation upon which Tolkien defines cultures and individuals: Tolkien’s invented languages, particularly those wholly alien to the Westron or ‘Common Speech,’ vividly reveal and reflect cultural differences in Middle-earth, but it is
The prologue, spoken by Galadriel, shows the Dark Lord Sauron forging the One Ring in order to conquer the lands of Middle-earth. A Last Alliance of Elves and Men is formed to counter Sauron's forces at the foot of Mount Doom, but Sauron kills Elendil, the High King of Men. His son, Prince Isildur grabs Elendil's broken sword Narsil, and slashes at Sauron's hand, separating him from the Ring and vanquishing his army. However, because Sauron's "life force" is bound to the Ring, he is not completely
Songs and poetry serve an important social function, communicating prominent cultural paradigms and archiving historical events. Oral songs were particularly significant in Anglo-Saxon culture, and were used as channels for creativity, preservation, and religion. Christianity became dominant in later Anglo-Saxon works, as seen in Beowulf. As Tolkien was a scholar of Anglo-Saxon language and Beowulf, his work reflects much of their traditions. Tolkien uses symbolism to establish Christian themes in
Instead of destroying The Ring, Boromir suggests it be used against Sauron and his army. “It is a gift. A gift to the foes of Mordor. Why not use this Ring? Long has my father, the Steward of Gondor, kept the forces of Mordor at Bay. By the blood of our people are your lands kept safe! Give Gondor the weapon of the enemy. Let us use it against him!” Boromir sees The Ring as a useful weapon but he fails to understand the true power of it. He doesn’t want it for himself so his desire to use it
When it comes to disagreeable people, you’ll find that readers fit the description best. This is due to books being such controversial things, leading to legendary debates. All readers have their own individual opinions however, the one fact that readers can agree on is that two books are never the same. However, is this true? What if books are merely two sides of the same coin? Close but always apart. Mirroring one another but always showing an individual flaw. That is exactly the case between the

Power is something that can corrupt the noblest person. Tolkien shows readers through his Lord of the Rings trilogy that the temptation of power and succumbing to it can destroy an individual. However, he has also created characters with strong morals and sense of identity who are able to withstand the temptation of power. Galadriel is a kind and generous elf who is the Lady of Lórien. During the Company’s stay she is tempted by the Ring but decides to reject it. Galadriel shows great hospitality
Frodo volunteers to take on this daunting task, and a “Fellowship of the Ring" is formed to aid him: Sam, Merry, Pippin, Aragorn, Gandalf, Gimli the Dwarf, Leagolas the Elf, and Boromir, the Man, son of the Ruling Steward Denathor of the realm of Gondor. Frodo escapes after a battle with the others against the Orcs and determines to continue the quest alone, though Sam guesses his intent and comes along. The Fellowship of the Ring is broken. Orcs sent by Saruman and Sauron kill Boromir and kidnap
“Old Entish,” and 45, “Osgiliath,” The Two Towers). The perspectives constantly change from one quest to another. The viewer is forced to take in numerous storylines at the same time.

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.

For example, when he presents Arwen, the future Queen of Gondor, he states: “and on the evening of Midsummer Aragorn, Arathorn’s son, and Arwen daughter of Elrond went to the fair hill, Cerin Amroth, in the midst of the land, and they walked unshod on the undying grass with elanor and niphredil about their feet”
The second movie report I chose to do was The Lord of the Rings – The Two Towers. This movie is a sequel of the first and is the second of three. It continues the long and interesting story about two young men who set out to safe their country of Middle Earth. Everything relies in their hands and the Ring of Sauron must be destroyed. The second movie left off right where the first ended and it was even better than the first I thought. Frodo and Sam find themselves lost in the rocky hills west of
