Harry Potter Lord Of The Rings Jungian Analysis

Many stories have at least one hero from whom the reader can learn because of the morals that the hero embodies. Heroes have distinct traits that separate them from bystanders and villains who the reader also meets throughout the story. Despite differences amongst the plethora of stories from this genre, a common denominator exists within every character that an author portrays as a hero. J.R.R. Tolkien uses multiple characters that show similar unique traits through their actions in his novel The Return of the King to define what it means to be a hero. Tolkien portrays both Frodo and Sam as heroes because of their determination, sacrifice, and perseverance.

The tale of Bilbo Baggins is one that has been around since 1937. When a book has been around for a time like that, there is bound to be a controversy pertaining to it. The problem the book has is whether or not it should be banned in high schools. I believe that J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel, The Hobbit, should not be banned in high schools because it displays the creativity that an author should be allowed to have when writing fictional works. On the contrary, there is a belief that Tolkien’s novel should be banned from high schools because of the books usage of witchcraft, magical creatures, and pipe smoking.

Tolkien’s The Two Towers is a continuation of his book The Fellowship of The Ring. The company is now facing new enemies and making new friends. Within The Two Towers Tolkien is straightforward with good and bad people. It is as if it’s in black and white. Tolkien has it where there is no evil without good. That for the bad to happen there has to be events or “falls” to happen. (Mathison) He shows his strong contrast of good and bad between Gandalf and Saruman. He also shows the gruesome setting of Mordor compared to the shimmering place of Rohan. With all of this he adds more detail with figurative language. He bolden’s the contrast of good and bad by using imagery, similes, and metaphors.

In the novel The Fellowship of the Rings by J.J.R. Tolkien, the prominence of a hero’s journey shines in the characters and the paths they take. The hero’s journey, an outline written by Joseph Campbell distinguishes the pieces that create a hero’s journey. The opening of the story will have a call to action, the smallest chance of conflict will occur and the hero will get pulled away from their everyday life and into one filled with action. The protagonist will meet a “supernatural aid”–a wise older person to guide them along the way and provide extra help. Soon, a road of trials will test the hero’s worthiness through the wise and the lesser. The Fellowship of the Rings reflects plenty of the outlined traits for a hero’s journey in its call to action, belly of the whale, and road of trials encountered so far. S

In “The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkien we hear about Bilbo’s great adventures. On Bilbo’s great journey he gains many spiritual treasures. Bilbo gains self-confidence, loyalty, courage, compassion, and selflessness. Bilbo also dealt with hardships, failures, and accomplishments. His journey with the dwarves and Gandalf helped him gain all these spiritual treasures.

Would you be able to step out of your comfort zone for the sake of adventure and a promise of treasure? This was the predicament Bilbo Baggins is unexpectedly presented with one sunny afternoon. Thirteen dwarves appear at his door and put forward their offer. Bilbo is a little apprehensive at first but soon comes to the realization that in his ordinary life of a Hobbit in the Shire he will never get another opportunity like this again. When reading The Hobbit, being able to step out of your comfort zone is a major key. J. R. R. Tolkien’s book The Hobbit is a novel that is not only showing a heroic quest, but is a fantasy and satire. It is written in the third person, almost exclusively from Bilbo, the protagonist's

“Do not tempt me! I dare not take it, not even to keep it safe, unused.” (95) This statement sets the tone for the remainder of the book, The Fellowship of The Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien. In this story the keeper of the ring has a great responsibility to keep it safe, while also dealing with the consequences of its custody. The possession of the ring brings with it a change in behavior, a mental change, and the presence of evil. The ring is controlling and all-powerful.

In this world everyone has their own beliefs. Some believe in karma in discipline, in prayer or in magic. Then in desperate times of need we have those who go out of their beliefs to solve the problem. In “A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings,” Gabriel Garcia Marquez uses the power of magic to show how it can affect someone’s perspective.

Bilbo was brave, but not aggressively so. He was loyal, but that did not mean he never had doubts. Bilbo Baggins, of Bag End was an honorable Hobbit. He was also the greatest hero of them all, although he may not seem like it.

When examining literary works, especially more popular literature, there tends to be story that surrounds the author and their intended purpose for writing the book. Tolkien’s writings may have been so widely received due to the saga’s fantastical and magical attributes. As a result, Tolkien’s audience enjoyed the emotional connection they could make to escape their own mundane world into a world which is familiar yet fundamentally different in respect to the mythical creatures which mingle with the human world. Tolkien’s fantasy creates a nation through mythology. Mystical creatures are flesh and blood; thriving in their foreign lands. Each of these creatures have adapted to their own environment. They have their own culture. Tolkien attempts to reincarnate our own world and transforms it into an allegory.

In this myth, the ring that is cursed by Andvari, along with its accompanied treasure, are the “bane” of man’s existence. Anyone who has possession of the ring will likely encounter destruction and death. Frodo being the keeper of the ring, deals with constant inner turmoil, feeling the terrible power burning inside. He is in constant fear for his life, as all manner of dark creatures are hunting it. He also has to worry about the other members of the “fellowship” being tempted to take the ring as well. This particular part of the myth is enforced by the character Gollum. He embodies the tortured soul and really gives the audience a sense of what it would be like to fall completely under the rings power. The music score for the “ring” theme is utterly dark and really allows the viewer to feel the immense pressure of wanting that power for oneself. Frodo is the ultimate hero in that he embraces his task with bravery and strength. Elijah Wood, the actor who plays Frodo, really brought this role to life and gave it qualities that I do not think anyone else

It begins with the initial quest - and the proposal of such quest - to embark on a perilous journey to foreign lands, certain trials that the hero must face to continue on in the quest, the dragon or destroyer that is the hero’s ultimate trial, and then the hero, who ends up saving the world.
