Tolkien's Legacy and Modern Interpretations
This chapter explores the contrasting views on J.R.R. Tolkien's works, particularly 'The Lord of the Rings,' and how contemporary ideologies interact with his themes of sacrifice and nobility. The discussion critiques modern fantasy narratives for their lack of deeper meaning and reflects on the concept of 'wokeness' in relation to fan communities and interpretations of Tolkien's values. Additionally, the chapter compares Tolkien's work with other fantasy series, like 'A Song of Ice and Fire' and 'Dune,' highlighting differences in narrative structure and thematic resolution.
