What was the background of Lord of the Rings?
The Lord of the Rings was written in 1939 in England by R R Tolkien, the first novel of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit. When Tolkien wrote Lord of the Rings, it was during World War II. He created this series to provide readers with hope and positive energy. In this story, the Hobbits, Dwarves, Golden Boots, and Gandalf all represented peace and friendship between humans, elves, orcs, and other different races. At the same time, the story also involved magic, wizards, dwarves, elves and other fantasy elements. These were all Tolkien's deep reflections on the British society and cultural traditions at that time. In addition, through this series of stories, Tolkien also expressed his concern and thoughts on racial discrimination, class division and other issues. It also reflected his thoughts on religious beliefs, the conflict between tradition and modern times and other issues. Therefore, The Lord of the Rings was not only a fantasy novel but also a work with profound thoughts.
