Major Themes in ME--for a Thesis - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Sounds like a fun paper to do. I recently wrote a guide to LotR for family and friends. These are the major themes I identified in that guide:

--What is friendship and what forms does it take?
--Can evil be destroyed?
--What is the nature of evil?
--What is the nature of hope?
--What is the nature of love?
--Is death a gift or a curse?
--What is the relationship between free will and destiny?
--How does the promise of power effect the mind and spirit?
--Can the victory of good over evil come at too high a price?

These were meant to refer to LotR only, but they might apply to the Sil etc as well.

Good luck! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
