J.R.R.
Tolkien
the
clash of the gods
With
“The Hobbit” and “Lord of the Rings” J.R.R. Tolkien
attributed to the interest in the Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian
and
British mythology and the imagination of the many readers worldwide.
In both books maby traces are found of Nordic (Finnish) and Gaelic
mythology and folklore. The Bible, read as the clash between good and
evil, is manifest as well. Resulting in an “End Time battle”
and the success of Frodo to destroy the ring.
But
the most impressive passages stem from the Tolkien's combat
experiences at the Somme during “the Great War” (1916). But the
question can be asked. Is “The Lord of the Rings” an “anti-war”
trilogy, because of his horrible experiences in the trenches? Tolkien
even got wounded.
