Creation background
The Lord of the Rings was written during the Second World War. Tolkien's original intention should be to make people cherish world peace through the Middle-Earth War. In the preface, he said, "Some people say that I use The Lord of the Rings to imply the world war. No matter in terms of process or result, the real war is different from the legendary war.
If the real war inspired the creation and led the development of the legendary war, then the ring would be taken away to deal with Sauron, but he would not be destroyed, but enslaved: the Black Tower (Sauron Palace) would not be destroyed, but occupied. "The Lord of the Rings was originally a sequel to The Hobbit, which lasted twelve years and was revised many times in four years.
works appreciation
The Lord of the Rings pioneered fantasy novels, showing an unprecedented world completely divorced from reality and even having its own language system. It is rooted in the soil of western Christian culture and draws nutrition from Nordic mythology, which has both Christian color and obvious mythological characteristics.
This paper probes into the problems that human beings have been discussing, such as life and death, light and darkness, and the way out for mankind. The characters in the works reflect their connection with Christian culture and Nordic literature from their actions, thoughts and choices. The Lord of the Rings embodies human fantasy and explains the real world with mythical thinking, which makes the content of The Lord of the Rings have obvious modern mythological meaning.
