What Themes Does Lord Of The Rings Have

HIYA, I NEED HELP I HAVE AN ENGLISH PRESENTATION TO DO ON THE LORD OF THE RINGS!!!!!!!!!!

I NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT THEMES IT HAS AND WHAT AFFECT IT HAS MADE ON PEOPLE

💃 💃 💃 💃 💃 💃

HELP PLEASE

plz, use minuscel, easier for the brain to understand that...

Hm, you mean, like the Hobbit theme (happy, sorrowless), the Ring theme (doomful), the Rohan theme (sad, shows a portrait of Rohan)..?

well the main theme that carries through all of lord of the rings and silmarillion is the battle of good vs. evil, and at what cost and sacrafice it takes to defeat evil. plus i really like the idea of no matter how hopeless the cause, it is worth it, i.e. frodo destroying the ring, the noldor in beleriand, beren and luthien ........

And also close friendship. Sam will help Frodo, no matter what!

yes! good one

Maybe something about courage and strength....

Dont forget a main one- power

well you can also add this one

if all good unite they can overcome even the most powerful evil
(always reminds me of WWII)

Power is a good one, also one related to that is how power can corrupt you heh like our government

Friendship, loyalty, power, choice, responsability....Life, death...The way we take care of our world today, looked at from an ecological point of view..Gosh!, there's so much!

sorry, we have to do so much with themes in school that i am so sick of them that i really won't put too much effort into this... but maybe do what's right? i don't know, but it's just i am so sick of stupid themes.... gah!

Holy crap BillaBonga, you were born in 1990!?! God I feel old...
(no offense is meant to you, I am amazed how quickly the years have started going by.)

Sorry for the totally off-topic post.

Death and Immortality
(according to Tolkien 😉

But it's mostly about friendship

If you have't done your report yet, I strongly suggest you read the preface to the book (2nd edition,) which suggest there are no real "themes" and certaintly no allegory to actual current events (at the time) or history, at least it was strongly his intention, as he says, that it would not be that way.
