Lord Of The Rings--Fellowship Of The Ring
Symbolism:
One symbol is the ring itself, the ring that "rules them all"-- the one Frodo has to destroy. The ring represents dark times, struggle, pain, and the side of life that isn't always good and happy. Everyone who has ever had the ring has come to ruin or near ruin. For example, Gollem or Smeagol found the ring years ago. After becoming obessed with it, he hid into the mountains, and after Frodo and company find Gollem, he hasn't healed completely, and most likely never will. The ring's power drives those who weilds it crazy for power, so crazy they would do anything. Thousands of years ago ( in the book) there was war waged between everyone in Middle-earth, dwarfs, elves, humans, wizards, etc. The war was all for the ring, because one man had become evil with it, and was trying to conquer everyone with his power.

So basically, the ring is evil and a guy became evil because of the ring and now he's trying to destroy everybody?? That's... er... expected of the bad guy that he would try to take over the world but the thing that made him evil was a RING? I would've thought it would've been something else since when I think of a ring, I think of... like... a wedding or something like that. Like something happy you know? But now in THIS book, the ring is evil... how werid!
In kind of confused?? Does the ring have some sort of evil spirit that gets into the head of people who have it? Or does it want to rule over the world ang=d needs a human host? I saw the movie it was good. Hope you're enjoying the book.:)
