Religion in The Lord of the Rings...of a Savior is also prevalent in The Lord of the Rings. Because Christians believe the world is in a broken and evil state, there is a need for someone to rise up and save the world from permanent darkness and despair. Three characters in the Lord of the Rings who fit this “Savior” role are Gandalf, Aragorn, and Frodo. Gandalf is very God-like and is similar to Jesus. When he falls in Moria, he descends to the lowest parts of the earth. He then has a great struggle with an evil foe. When he defeats the Balrog, he is at the peak of a mountain. Later, he is transformed and becomes Gandalf the White. Similarly, as the Bible says, Jesus Christ descended...

Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien...between them is the often-referred to Bond among Brothers recognized in times of peril as developing among soldiers.
I think Tolkein’s life and world experience played a large role in his ultimate creation of the Lord of the Rings. He grew up in a very Catholic world and the religious overtones of this can be seen as his characters struggle against sin and evil for the spiritual salvation of all mankind.

Tolkein was also reacting to issues...

The Lord of Rings...WWI in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings Although J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings is set in a fantasy world, it does contain elements or images from thereal world. One of these elements is imagery from World War I, which had a damaging effect on many people’s imagination in Europe when it occurred.

Another similarity is in the description of the...
