Imagery In Lord Of The Flies

This passage comes from the novel The Hobbit written by J.R.R Tolkien, which is made into a movie by the director Peter Jackson. Peter Jackson made many alterations to the movie in hope of making the story more appealing but he was not regarding the intentions of the author. This story

Back then perspectives were very different, so the response to J.R.R. Tolkien’s book back then would have been very different in comparison to it were to be released tomorrow. If The Hobbit was released today, written the exact same way, it would get a lot more hate and judgement to have whole races categorized as the bad guys. Tolkien’s book does not include enough diversity in personalities within any race to get by in today’s sensitive and judgemental society. Another controversial segment in the book was the physical and mental separation between all the different creatures. The typical creature in the book would live with their race days away from any other races, isolated to their own kind.

In the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (LOTR) Peter Jackson (Jackson) conveys many archetypes. Archetypes are the occurring patterns we see, that are being used over and over throughout time. LOTR character Gollum portrays the archetype of creature of the night where as the situational aspect of gollum is in the Good vs. Evil. The way Gollum 's character draws you in, is both misleading and interesting.

Gollum is the only character that got corrupted by a real power

Frodo, Sam and Sméagol enter the land of Mordor through the Dead Marshes. This area bears a strong resemblance of the Somme. Weather conditions made the trenches of the Somme harrowing: rain turned the area into a sea of mud. The corpses of the half-drowned soldiers were everywhere, their faces turned black and green, a side effect of the rain.

After Gollum, Bilbo came upon giant, deadly spiders, that captured him and the dwarves. In the novel, The Hobbit, spiders are described as “He could on see the things eyes, but could feel it's hairy legs….”(Tolkien 143). Bilbo defeated them with a new found confidence when he began teasing them and removing his ring that made him invisible. Furthermore, one of the biggest trials Bilbo found himself in was when he was with Smaug. Bilbo outsmarts Smaug by learning that “No dragon can resist the fascination of riddling talk and of wasting time to understand it.

The spiders told Bilbo, “Now you see you nasty little creature!We

For example, he must use his intellect and resourcefulness to survive when confronted by trolls, goblins, and gigantic spiders. In addition, he must compete in a riddle-solving contest with Gollum, the creature who possesses the Ring that will become central to "The Lord of the Rings" narrative. In each situation, Bilbo demonstrates courage and intelligence, outwitting his opponents despite his diminutive stature. When Bilbo confronts the dragon Smaug, he displays one of the most courageous acts of his life. Bilbo infiltrates the dragon's lair and challenges him to a game of wits, using his knowledge of the dragon's vulnerabilities to trick him into divulging his weak spot.

Tolkien, Bilbo Baggins begins to boom his emotional intelligence in the course of his trek thru the Misty Mountains. In “Riddles Inside the Dark,” the hobbit encounters Gollum and starts to evolve to show trends of emotional intelligence that incorporate empathy. that is expressed even as Mr. Baggins says, “he is miserable, on my own, lost”(46-47). displaying that he understood that if he did kill Gollum, then it wouldn’t be proper. Then the narrator tells us even extra of Bilbo’s thoughts, announcing, “a shocking knowledge, a pity blended with horror, welled up in Bilbo’s coronary heart: a glimpse of unmarked days…”(forty-six-47).

Bilbo is confronted by Gollum in the goblin caves. Bilbo wielded a dagger which he “thrusted [it] infront of him” (Tolkien 34). Gollum lacked weapons giving Bilbo the greater advantage but because Bilbo sympathized with Gollum, he decided to spare Gollum’s life and negotiating peace with the enemy rather than engaging in violence. Rather than killing Gollum, Bilbo embraces the irregular heroic quality of empathy. Bilbo develops a sense of affinity for the dwarves and their quest after seeing their “fierce and jealous love, the desire of the hearts of dwarves'' (Tolkien 8), which drives his aspirations to aid them rather than seeking glory for himself.

When Bilbo becomes lost in the Goblin’s passage ways, he finds a ring on the ground and enters Gollum’s cave. Gollum gets his name

The “tricksy lights” around the water lure one to look into it, but if they do, they will be dragged into the dark waters, “glazed with grimy glass.” Dead bodies have been abducted by cunning spirits to take over them, as a horrific result of the war. Tolkien and Dante both use descriptions of the dead to warn humanity against the consequences of war and sin. In conclusion, both authors’ descriptions help to add to the warning they each have to humankind.

Tolkien illustrated the image of hobbits by stating, “They are inclined to fat in the stomach, they dress in bright colors (chiefly green and yellow); wear no shoes, because their feet grow natural leathery soles and thick warm brown hair like the stuff on their heads; have long clever brown fingers, good- natured faces, and deep fruity laughs.” (Tolkien 4).

Nasty, disturbing, uncomfortable things” (4). This refusal is borne out of a life which, up to that point, has been of second breakfasts, smoke-rings, and morning letters. His dismissive tone, however belie his adventurous Took blood. Later, in an attempt to quell the dwarves’ suspicions and introduce a lighter mood, Gandalf’s tone shifts from oratorical to comical, even sympathetic as he reassures them that though Bilbo “gets funny queer fits, (but) he is one of the best-- as fierce as a dragon in a

In The Fellowship of the Ring, he uses multiple different methods to really encapsulate the reader in the immense world. Tolkien, first of all, has a fully made up map similar to how you'd see it if you were in the world, then the way the world is referred in the story helps show the true size, lastly how time is relevant and talked about the importance in the story. The map that is included in the book establishes the very small scale that the shire is especially in comparison to the rest of the world. From the point of view in the book makes the shire feel very large, looking at the map the shire isn't very large.
