Part 1
For first post, please answer the four questions below.
Answer each question in full sentences.
Answers should be based on the excerpt from “The Return of the King”. Remember answers should be between HUNDRED TO THREEHUNDRED words EACH.
Remember to answer the questions on ur own and in ur own words; I want to see your own thoughts(i.e., do not simply compliment or agree with their post).
Additional research is not necessary, and should not be included. DO NOT take material from the Internet to use as your answers; these questions are asking for YOUR reflections on the assigned text.
Unlike The Holy Lance, Tolkien’s work is neo-medievalist, set in a medieval-inspired fantasy world. In other words, it’s not based on the historical past, and therefore, it does not attempt to portray the Middle Ages in a realistic way. Looking back at your reading, choose three details from the text and explain how they help make it clear to the reader that this is not a realistic portrayal of the historical Middle Ages.
If you had to choose one of Eco’s “Three Little Middle Ages” from Week 2 (see “How Is Popular Medievalism Constructed?”) to apply to The Return of the King, which would you choose, and why?
This excerpt depicts Middle-Earth at war. How do the characters seem to feel about the violence? Do their attitudes towards the war seems modern or medieval to you? (Make sure you fully explain your reasoning, including why you think a particular attitude towards war is medieval or modern in nature.)
How do you think Tolkien’s own experiences in World War I influenced his depiction of war in Middle-Earth? Be as specific as possible in your answer, drawing on details from the readings.
