Senior Theme Topic

I'm doing my senior theme over Lord of the Rings, but I'm not sure what angle to take. There is just so much information that I could write about. For instance I could compare the importance of armed conflict in deciding the outcomes of M-E history against the importance of chance and wizadry to win the day. ANY suggestions would be appreciated.

Here's one (I used this one myself for English 12): The Gift of Men vs the Doom of Men. The fates of the Eruhini. My version is on my webpage

Here was another guy in the same boat:

Right offhand, I'd say: Try to compare Redemption in Middle-Earth with that in Star Wars.

Man's inheritting/taking over of the world from the other people's and how that relates to our current times of pollution and distruction.








Or not

Wise vs. Weak, humble vs. proud, differing definitions of "greatness". Examples: Gandalf's interest in "hobbit studies" vs. Saruman's "evil studies". The Feanor family's greed vs. Bilbo's generosity. The 4 hobbits' growth vs. Denethor's fall.
