Tolkien’s Beloved Fantasy Saga Encourages Us to Treat Fellow Americans Fairly | the Epoch Insights

J. R. R. Tolkien's "Return of the King" is a powerful story of hope. As the conclusion of the epic fantasy saga, this third and final book in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy is undoubtedly the most popular. The 2003 film based on it is among the most successful movies of all time. Nevertheless, there’s something to be gleaned from the books and this faith-inspired writer which you can’t get from the movies. Tolkien coined the word eucatastrophe, meaning an unexpected good occurrence which unravels seemingly certain doom, the opposite of a sudden tragedy or disaster. Such a miraculous happy ending, such as occurs in this novel, can give us hope for real life.
The original "Lord of the Rings" books are very traditional, classic stories of inspiration, drawing on folk stories. They aren’t just fairy stories, though. These excerpts from Tolkien’s elaborate mythopoeia provide excellent messages and moral lessons. Tiffany Brannan talks about an Opinion article in The Epoch Times, “16 Things Individuals Can Do to Help Bring America Together,” explaining how "The Lord of the Rings" supports each of these points. Tiffany Brannan highlights how Tolkien's works glorified the beauty of nature and bemoaned the loss of outdoor recreation and a simpler life. Thus, his work can perhaps best be enjoyed outside in the fresh air, combining literary time with outdoor leisure.

Is that realy a story of hope only ? Or rather a story of courage and freedom even despite hopelessness ? Even Frodo is named after the war - "Bronwe athan harthad" - "endurance beyond hope".
