Finding Woman's Role In The Lord Of The Rings, Melissa Mccrory Hatcher Apr 2007

Finding Woman's Role In The Lord Of The Rings, Melissa Mccrory Hatcher

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Offers an opposing viewpoint on the “taming” of the woman warrior in Tolkien, suggesting that Éowyn’s rejection of the warrior’s life is a fulfillment of Tolkien’s theme of healing and rebirth rather than a subjection to a male partner.

Through A Dark Lens: Jackson's Lord Of The Rings As Abject Horror, R.D. Hall

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Shows how Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movie trilogy makes more sense “read” as horror than fantasy, drawing on definitions of horror from film theory and on Jackson’s own previous work.

Galadriel And Morgan Le Fey: Tolkien's Redemption Of The Lady Of The Lacuna, Susan Carter

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Looks at Galadriel’s role in the text of The Lord of the Rings—specifically at what is not revealed about her there—finding parallels with the treatment of Morgan le Fey in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, one of the Middle English texts with which Tolkien was most associated as a scholar.


The Fall And Repentance Of Galadriel, Romuald Ian Lakowski Apr 2007

The Fall And Repentance Of Galadriel, Romuald Ian Lakowski

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Fills in some of the gaps of Galadriel’s depiction in The Lord of the Rings with a close examination of her history throughout the development of Tolkien’s legendarium, and particularly Tolkien’s evolving conception of her rebellion and redemption.

Pullman, Lewis, Macdonald, And The Anxiety Of Influence, William Gray

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Building on the theoretical framework of Harold Bloom’s The Anxiety of Influence, traces a path of influence and “anxiety” from George MacDonald through C.S. Lewis to Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy.


The Ogre Blinded And The Lord Of The Rings, Daniel Peretti Apr 2007

The Ogre Blinded And The Lord Of The Rings, Daniel Peretti

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Applies folk-tale analysis tools to the climactic Mount Doom scene of The Lord of the Rings, finding intriguing roots in the “ogre blinded” motif most familiar to readers from the Polyphemos episode of The Odyssey.
