| Abstract | J. R. R. Tolkein's "Hobbit" books intrigue students, perhaps because the fantasies lack "literary pretensions.""The Hobbit" and the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, set in Middle Earth (a world peopled with Hobbits, Dwarves, and Elves), provide a history for the Elven language invented by the linguist Tolkein. In the story of the quest of the forces of good to destroy a power-giving ring which corrupts the one who wears it, students easily recognize the central theme--the corruptive tendency of power. Although the Romantic Quest is important, the trilogy is an epic in which the conflict between good and evil is clear and definite. Readers who discover deeper meanings as well as those who enjoy simple fantasy will find satisfaction in the stories and may, thus, be led to an interest in other books. (JS) |
