9 Review Motivation Objectives Vocabulary Reading Metaphors in The Lord of the Rings (pp.38-39) Group Work J,R.R. Tolkien s The Lord of the Rings begins in a time before memory when twenty rings are forged that give the power to rule. Three are hidden by the kings of the elves. Seven are given to the lords of the dwarves and nine to the kings of men. But one other ring is created in secret by the dark lord Sauron, to serve as a master ring to rule over all. That one ring is on his hand in the greatest battle in the ancient times. But Sauron loses the battle and the ring passes to a man. When its evil leads to the man s death, the ring is lost. Then, it is found by someone who becomes Gollum. In the novel The Hobbit, Gollum loses it and it is found by a hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo eventually entrusts the ring to his nephew, a boy by the name of Frodo Baggins. It becomes Frodo s quest to take it on a hazardous journey to Mordor to destroy it in the volcano where it was made. Along the way he is joined by friends a fellowship of brave fighters who will help him and together they encounter enemies. The task of returning the ring is made more difficult because the ring, as a metaphor for power, corrupts whoever wears it. The Lord of the Rings novels are a metaphor for the struggle between good and evil, set in a mystical world called Middle Earth. Diverse people and monsters live there, each a metaphor for a different aspect of society; elves represent scientists and artists; wizards represent philosophers, whose ideas can be used for either good or evil; dwarves represent narrow-mined people, who live in dirt looking for wealth and are sometimes trapped in their own caves. Hobbits, the main characters of the three novels, live in a peaceful shire and are a metaphors for the simple life, ignorant of what goes on outside home. The Lord of the Rings 9
