Elrond Essays

“Far over the misty mountains cold, To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away ere break of day To seek the pale enchanted gold.” pg14 The Hobbit, by J. R. R. Tolkien has many songs within it’s covers as have many of Tolkien's works. But few of the adaptations made by directors of Tolkien’s classical tales keep the songs that are so familiar to the books. The Hobbit trilogy, are unique in that aspect. Director Peter Jackson, however, used these songs within his movie adaptations and their resemblance

I can’t believe they didn’t respect the terms of the agreement. The elves promised to pay tribute. We had every right to have our part of the bargain that was described on the documents. The jewels that they had were not meant to be ours. But, it was their fault, or more like it was Lord Elrond’s fault. He should have paid us the gold that he promised us. I bet he doesn’t understand why we need the gold. It’s because of my father King Thorin. He thrives on gold, his whole life is surrounded by gold

In the novel The Hobbit the 12 dwarves and Bilbo have a different perspective. when it comes to the elves of rivendell, The elves have a negative impression on the dwarves, but a positive one for Bilbo. But The elven lord, Elrond, has an opinion about the dwarves expedition to the lonely mountain. In rivendell there are elves that sing dance and fight. For the dwarves, elves are annoying because The elves are always laughing mostly at the dwarves beards. I know this because in the text it says,”

elves. Bilbo loves the place they are staying but the dwarves traveling with Bilbo don’t agree with him. Elrond, an elf they met during their stay, feels a certain way about the dwarves´ love of gold and wickedness of a dragon.He also feels ready for the adventure. The elves standards of values that are important to them. Bilbo is not feeling the same way as the dwarves traveling with him, Elrond is having mixed thoughts about this journey and the people on the journey, The elves have values that

leadership characteristic of Elrond, Gandalf, and Aragorn. This allows their people to reach full potential and gain a sense of achievement and valor rather than being forced to do the bidding of their leaders. Frodo is a prime example of this, as he uses his free will to achieve greatness. Gandalf trusted Frodo to take the Ring from Bilbo, but he did not force any part of Frodo’s involvement. At the Council of Elrond, Frodo volunteers himself to carry the Ring to Mordor. Elrond responds, “’If I understand

grandfather the king under the mountain before being attacked by Smaug. Smaug, The Master of Lake Town, and Thorin all show greed and become corrupt. But Bilbo and Elrond stray away from greed. The Hobbit is a prime example of how power and wealth corrupt. Elrond is a good example of being humble and not accepting temptation. Elrond frowns on the band of dwarves

The council of Elrond stands as the central pillar in the fellowship of ring. This chapter has considerable worth in the fellowship of ring. It incorporates all major themes, motives and characters. Tolkien’s works are dominant and persuasive because of his characters. A pivotal theme that all his characters represent fidelity in this chapter, and four eminent characters are Aragorn, Boromir, Sam, and Frodo. These characters are all members of the council and of course of Fellowship and have endeavoured

The choice to become immortal is huge. In Tolkien’s writings we hear a lot of the elves and of men, but Half-Elves (also known as Peredhil) aren’t mentioned very often. Is that because humans and elves can’t marry? The answer is no there have been three marriages between the Eldar and the Edain. The reason we don’t hear about half elves is because they got to choose to either become an elf or a human. They don’t stay as Half-Elves they pick which race they want to be. The first human and elf marriage

The meeting takes place in a semi circle around a stone table. Elrond says that only one person should take the ring to Mordor, this causes them to start arguing about who should take the ring as they don’t trust one another with it. Frodo suddenly says “I will take the ring to Mordor.” (LOTR, 2001) This took courage

1 A short introduction to the Lord of the Rings novels Clearly one of the most influential texts of modern day fantasy literature and probably the founding father of medieval fantasy, Tolkien 's works have received a great deal of criticism largely regarding its attitude toward traditional gender roles. Namely, progressive, feminist readers quickly note that The Lord of the Rings seems to champion the classical gender roles seemingly based on a long gone chauvinistic society: a fellowship of nine

The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien is an epic that was written recently when it is compared to the epics of the ancient Greeks. The was written in 1954 and began the trilogy known as The Lord of the Rings, “The Fellowship of the Ring, first book (1954) in the trilogy,” (Hall). Some of the characteristics of an epic are: the hero is noble-born, goes on a long journey, his decisions affect the fate of the nation, the hero’s characteristics reflects the ideas of his society, and a large setting

The Fellowship of the Ring is an epic written by J.R.R Tolkien in 1954. The epic takes place in a fictional world named Middle-Earth. The title itself tells some aspects of the book. The Ring, a possession of The Dark Lord Sauron, is used for evil deeds. Sauron placed much of his power in the Ring, and controls people through it. This is all in an effort to enslave all of Middle-earth and rise back to power. Sauron lost his power when a great Man cuts the ring from his finger and steals the ring

Test/friends/enemies are all very key factors into developing a storyline and is needed to complete the hero’s journey. In this tale Bilbo meets many allies such as Elrond who was described as, “noble, and as fair in face as an elf-lord, as strong as a warrior, as wise as a wizard, as venerable as s king of dwarves, and as kind as summer.” (pg. 58) Elrond was truly the first person Bilbo thought he could trust for, he was granted safety due to his help. Yet, the whole world can’t be as jolly and Bilbo met an

Bilbo Baggins is a short, friendly and celebratory hobbit, who lives in a hobbit-hole, in Hobbiton, the Shire. He likes to smoke tobacco, have multiple meals a day and live a quiet life. But his story really begins when Gandalf the Grey, a wizard, walks past his home. He asks Bilbo if he was willing to accompany him on his adventure. Bilbo politely declines, not wanting to have his peaceful life interrupted. The next day, however, it is. Before breakfast, he has fourteen visitors, thirteen of which

It opens with the wizard Gandalf visiting the hobbit Bilbo Baggins and inviting him to join in an adventure. Bilbo declines, reluctant to leave the safety and comfort of his hobbit-hole. The next day, he is visited by dwarves who believe Bilbo can be of use to them in their journey to the Lonely Mountain to reclaim their ancestral treasure, now in the possession of Smaug the dragon. Bilbo realizes that Gandalf had represented him to the dwarves as a burglar. He reluctantly agrees to go,and they

I have chosen to write about my all-time biggest obsession, The Lord of The Rings. I will focus on the author, J.R.R Tolkien, the difference between the films and the novels and the discussion regarding the lack of women in this story. I will also concentrate on one specific character, an elf named Arwen, and her role, as she has been accused of being of excess. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, otherwise known as J.R.R Tolkien was a marvellous writer. You could even say that he was a legend. He has written

What Lord of the Rings character is the most virtuous according to you? Aragorn / Elrond because Aragorn inherits the Elf wisdom and the visionary ability of the Dúnedain. He is also a good healer, a mighty warrior and an excellent commander. Although wise and strong, Aragorn also has at times doubted himself. He worried that his abilities were not enough to lead the Board of Executives after Gandalf disappeared, and repeatedly rebuked for the difficulties they faced. An event in which Aragorn's

to the Shire. When Frodo encounters the Ring Wraiths at Weathertop, he feels the stroke of the Morgul-knife “like a dart of poisoned ice pierce his left shoulder” (196). Frodo’s companions fear that the wound may be deadly, but with the help of Elrond and Frodo’s own fortitude, Frodo is able to recover and does not become a Ring Wraith himself. Nonetheless, the wound will continue to plague him. Frodo confides in Gandalf that, “The wound aches, and the memory of darkness is heavy on me. It was

As the set of trilogy moves forward, new signs appear to neutralize the enticement of the ring. The sword Anduril stands for unity and goodness, instead of insidiousness and disunity. At the point when Elrond presents the sword to Aragorn, he says that the destiny of Arwen has been connected to the destiny of the ring: as the ring develops stronger, she becomes weaker. Arwen, thus, serves as a sort of image herself, the exact opposite of Sauron: the opposition to ring, the image of faith and goodness

If there were a word to describe “the most mainest of all main characters” I would use it for Bilbo Baggins. He is only one of fifteen “main characters” (I hope that is the correct count of main characters). Hobbits as I recall are very small, smaller than dwarves. After a quick Google Search, I find out that Bilbo is only a whopping three feet! Another quick Google search and I find out that three feet is about the average height of a two or three year old child. I imagine since Bilbo is short he
