Race in Middle Earth
Peter Jackson’s film “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” is an epic story that documents the journey of nine individuals on a quest to destroy an evil ring of power. ... Beyond the story of good versus evil, it becomes obvious that the race to which each character belongs clearly shapes their decisions and behaviors throughout the film. ... The hobbits are a simple and childlike race. ... Yet, despite their small stature and timid nature, the fate of Middle Earth comes to rest on their shoulders.
The hobbits represent the goodness and innocence of Middle Earth. ...
In The Fellowship of the Ring, the race of men is depicted as weak and who, above all else, desire power. Represented by Aragon and Boromir, the race of men are a scattered and divided people whose “pride and dignity are all but forgotten”. When Gandalf the wizard proclaims that hope and the fate of Middle Earth depends on men, the elf Lord Elrond quickly replies, “The race of men is failing. ... ”
The elves are an ancient and knowledgeable race who possess tremendous mystical powers. They are a beautiful race that can foresee the future. ...
The dwarves are the final race that make up the fellowship of the ring. Short and stocky, the dwarves are nonetheless a powerful and very proud race.
