Choose from the following essay suggestions. You may create your own topic if you consult me before Mar 12. I recommend you consult critical sources when planning your paper. Your argument should be explicitly based on the critical concepts from our readings so far in relation to specific textual evidence from Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. Your essay should be 5–8 pages and double spaced in MLA Style, not including the title page or works cited page.
Using any of the ethical arguments we have read so far (Platonic, Utilitarian, Pragmatic, etc.), consider an ethical choice made in any of Tolkien’s works read so far. What justifications are there for Boromir’s attempt to take the ring by force? Is Bilbo justified in deceiving his companions about the ring? Are ethical choices possible while under the ring’s influence?
Using any of the theological concepts we have read so far (Providence, eschatology, metaphysics, etc.), consider how Tolkien’s works read so far engage with theology. Does Bilbo’s good luck become a form of Providence, and if so, is it in the form of predestination or intervention? If there is an eschatological end point to each stage of Tolkien’s narrative, does this also imbue it with meaning and purpose? What are the metaphysical properties of magic, and can we know anything of them?
