symbols from Lord of the Rings
In Lord of the Rings the whole adventure taking place is a symbol. It represented a religious battle between God and Satan, just like in the bible. Saulon was the devil who was once was God’s helper who turned away because he lusted for power. God didn’t appear in the first book but his disciples did. Frodo was like Moses because Frodo had to escape with the ring. So did Moses he had to escape with the Israelites from Egypt. Also there was a part when Sam (Frodo’s companion) jumped into the lake because he wanted help his friend. This showed how loyal they were to each other. I think the author was trying to prove that friends should help each other out even it might kill them.
