Sanctity VS. profanity in J. R. R. Tolkien's the lord of the rings

Abstract EN

Tolkien's vast saga in the Lord of the Rings (1954) is one of the most complicated fictional and fantastic worlds that has a unique structure that merges various cultures of Norse mythology, Anglo Saxon literature and medieval philology.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy does not impose certain norms or standards on the minds of the readers, but it presents a new interpretation of the constant and eternal struggle between the camp of freedom, sanctity, implied Christianity, and the forces of oppression, profanity and implied heresy.

Tolkien's trilogy is a deeper test for humanity's endurance and struggle against various changeable morals, standards and values that challenged the intellectual and cultural fluctuations that inflected man as a consequence of disasters especially wars The Lord of the Rings is presented chronologically.

A narrator initiates the history of the ring at the very beginning of The Fellowship of the Ring, which is the only background information the readers need to understand and know about it.

From this point, the line of the events happen in order.

Starting from Gandalf’s arrival in the Shire at the beginning of the first part to Sam and Frodo’s return at the end of the last.

But there is only one scene in the trilogy appears out of chronological order, which is the opening scene of The Return of the King.

In this scene, the hobbit Sméagol kills his friend to acquire the ring of power and eventually becomes the withered creature Gollum, whose singular obsession is the ring.
