Lord of The Rings ù Final Draft
|
|
|
|
"O, it is excellent
|
|
To have a giant's strength, but it is tyrannous
|
|
To use it like a giant" -William Shakespeare
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
"eleventy-first birthday"; "The invitation were limited to
|
|
twelve-dozen (a number also called a Gross by the hobbits)"; "Many young
|
|
hobbits were included and present by parental permission for hobbits were
|
|
easy going with their children in the matter of sitting up late." ; "What
|
|
may you be wanting?"; "It was a cheerless land"; "The hobbits were
|
|
merrymaking happily."
|
|
|
|
Not only does the language create a land but it may also add a bit of
|
|
humor. This humor can also express the merriness of the people that have
|
|
been written about. The language, in English is not exactly incorrect but
|
|
it is odd, strange, and different, which matches the theme and plot.
|
|
|
|
Tolkien, like mostly every other author has one main, specific goal
|
|
during the exposition of the story, which is to capture the reader's
|
|
attention. In the beginning of "The Lord of the Rings," Tolkien presents
|
|
events of happiness, mystery, tales of power, chase, by evil riders,
|
|
battles, and strange encounters. Through this process, Tolkien has created
|
|
a grasp upon the reader's attention, although, in the beginning, there is
|
|
not much of a sort or understanding of the condition and the state of the
|
|
tale. Later on in the story, in the "Council of Ehond," Tolkien regains
|
|
control of the story and presents the understanding. At that time, the
|
|
reader understands the story, and is also eager to read on. Tolkien thought
|
|
of it better to catch the attention and then promote the comprehension of
|
|
the tale.
|
|
|
|
"The Lord of the Rings" is indeed a fantastic book with times of
|
|
happiness, war, mystery, conflict, and passion. In order to create the full
|
|
cathartic effect of presenting and expressing the magnitude of the
|
|
potential of each feeling, emphasis must be exercised. If emphasis was not
|
|
used, the essence of "The Lord of the Rings" could not be how it is; it
|
|
would be a monotonous tale without any events of objects with great
|
|
importance. There are two ways of how Tolkien expressed the dynamics. One
|
|
way was the use of capitalizing common nouns, making the level of the
|
|
word's recognition increased. Some of the quotations of such words are:
|
|
|
|
"...and was drawing near to the astonishing Disappearance." "There is
|
|
lie until the End."; "The ring itself might tell if it were the One.";
|
|
"A new Power is rising." The other way of emphasis is personification:
|
|
a figure of speech in which a lifeless thing
|
|
|
|
or quality is spoken of as if alive, or to play the role of another thing.
|
|
This can imply more importance into a less-important thing. The use of this
|
|
emphasis is shown in these quotations.
|
|
|
|
"My news is evil."; "We shall need your help, and the help of all
|
|
things that will give it."; "The Elder Days are gone. The Middle Days are
|
|
passing. The Younger Days are beginning. The time of elves is over, but our
|
|
time is at hand."; "The Ring grows in Power and deserves destruction."
|
|
|
|
This figurative language promotes increase of importance of things
|
|
that must be emphasized.
|
|
|
|
The story presents a very easy to believe story that can be witnessed
|
|
in the setting. The setting is a fantastic world of beauty threatened by an
|
|
evil overlord and a wizard. The world contains man odd creatures to create
|
|
the fill effect of fantasy. Something in which Tolkien added to this tale
|
|
to create not only more emotion but also supporting edition to the tale's
|
|
reality. He's added rhymes and 'songs' in which some of the characters
|
|
chant in the time of boredom. A quote from such a song is: "Gil-galad was
|
|
an Elven-king. Of him the harpers sadly sing: the last whose realm was fair
|
|
and free between the Mountains and the Sea."
|
|
|
|
"His sword was long, his lance was keen,
|
|
his shining helm afar was seen!"
|
|
|
|
This use of rhymes transmits a feeling that is sent by the character
|
|
singing the song to the reader. This is an effective use of catharsis. In a
|
|
story like "The Lord of the Rings", catharsis is very important and
|
|
essential.
|
|
|
|
Throughout the whole book, there is one minor weakness. Due to the
|
|
many names of all the different characters in the story, each of them can
|
|
be easily confused with, causing the reader to be perplexed, and therefore
|
|
losing his or interest in the novel. Many of the names sound the same. Once
|
|
a name is introduced, many others follow. And then it builds up into a very
|
|
long list of jumbled names. Some of the confusing ones are:
|
|
|
|
Aragorn, Arathorn, Arwen, Athdas, Bolger, Bomladil, Bombur, Boromir,
|
|
Eldar, Elendil, Elessar, Eomer, Eru, Galadrid, Galadrim, Gildor, Gil-galad,
|
|
Gimli, Glorfindel, Minas Morgul, and Minas Firith.
|
|
|
|
Overall, "The Lord of the Rings" is an incredible, fantastic book. It
|
|
was fairly difficult to read at some parts of the book which had "Boring"
|
|
written all over the page, but it was definitely worth all that time. There
|
|
is absolutely no doubt about the potential of excellence this book can
|
|
generate. Tolkien has written an outstanding book and has proven many
|
|
things and has shown many aspects. When Tolkien set out writing this book,
|
|
he aimed for a best- seller. When it was completed, he re-defined the
|
|
words, "A Masterpiece..."
