Always new about Narnia but not middle-earth, pretty cool. is it just for the sack of saying that muslims are Orcs!! and saladin in an evil guy (sauron.) Although he didn't ride the seas to invade other places and kill innocents like what crusaders did, and then when he took back journalism he didn't hurt anyone and he let Europeans go back to "their countries" in peace.
I don't know why you want to mix up things like that. So you must be specific is it jesus time, or medieval times! I hope you consider all of this and help teach this to others in the future. Or you could look at San as Frodo's gardian angel who never leaves his side because everyone has their gardian angel that never leaves their side and never will. He carrys his cross (the ring) to Mount Doom (Mount Calvery), while Sam symbolizes Simon of Cyrene helping him carry the ring (the cross) to the mountain. Frodo is the third Christ figure in the movie/book. However i do not agree with the fact that you said Sam was the third Christ figure in The Lord of the Rings. I agree with most of this though you did leave some things out. I love Gandalf as being the resurrected Christ coming with His army for armaggedon. I believe many of the characters represented a portion of Christ in themselves. Yup i completely agree with Frodo being the another Christ in LOTR. Similarly, Christ left heaven to come to Earth and took bodily form to rescue humanity from sin and Satan.īrandon from Houston, Texas on July 23, 2015: In The Silmarillion, Gandalf is introduced as a spirit named Olorin, and he only took on the flesh of men so that the people of Middle-earth would trust him and have faith in his mission. Dual Identitiesįor those who have not read The Silmarillion, the Valar are basically the gods and goddesses of Middle-earth, and Valinor is the land of bliss in which they dwell. Gandalf was sent by the Valar from the land of Valinor to rescue the people of Middle-earth from evil and to protect them from Sauron. Gandalf is the dominant symbol of Christ in The Lord of the Rings evidence of this can be found by first looking at how Gandalf came to Middle-earth and then considering his actions throughout the story. Gandalf: The Wandering Pilgrim and Savior of Middle-earth Literally carried Frodo up Mount Doom in the final stages of his journey to destroy the One Ring, helping him to complete his mission, and carrying his burden as he struggles to fulfill his purpose (as Jesus carried the struggling believer)ġ. Overcomes evil reigns in peace and righteousness Resurrected as "Gandalf the White" after his sacrifice Sacrifices himself for the rest of the Fellowship Dual identities: a common man and a powerful, mystical figureĪccepts his leadership role and embraces his destinyĭisciple-like self-sacrificial and faithful
