J.R.R Tolkien

The Author : J.R.R Tolkien

James Ronal Reuel, or J.R.R., Tolkien is one of the best-loved British writers of the 20th century. His main works, The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings have been celebrated for decades, and translated into many languages. The recent film version of The Lord of The Rings directed by Peter Jackson has created more interest into J.R.R. Tolkien’s background.

J.R.R. Tolkien was born in South Africa, in 1892. His father died when Tolkien was only three, and the family relocated to the West Midlands section of England. Early on, Tolkien demonstrated an amazing aptitude for learning languages, mastering Greek and Latin in his early teens. Of particular importance was his mastery of Finnish, which later would greatly influence the Elven language, Quenya.

While J.R.R. Tolkien initially attended college at Oxford, he changed his emphasis to English Literature, and attained an Arts Degree in 1915. He also, met his future wife Edith Bratt. When she converted to Catholicism, the two were married. They had four children, to whom Tolkien often told his many stories.

While at college, J.R.R. Tolkien had already begun to work on original poetry and had begun to invent Quenya. Upon graduation, J.R.R. Tolkien enlisted in the British Army. Many believe that the depictions of war in The Lord of the Rings were greatly influenced by Tolkien’s time spent in the trenches of France. J.R.R. Tolkien hated this interpretation and refuted it, but close scholarship of his writings to his wife during the time definitely suggests similarities.

Peter Jackson

The Director

New Zealand director Peter Jackson started his prolific career at the young age of eight, creating short films with a 8-mm movie camera. Without any formal training, Jackson has directed a number of successful films ranging across all genres. He is most well-known for his film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy, which has won numerous awards.

(born Oct. 31, 1961, Pukerua Bay, North Island, N.Z) New Zealand director, perhaps best known for his film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

When Jackson was eight years old, his parents bought an 8-mm movie camera, and he began making short films. He later purchased a used 16-mm camera and, with his friends, began work on what started out to be another short film. It kept growing, however, and, with the aid of a grant from the New Zealand Film Commission, Bad Taste was released in 1987. The movie won acclaim at the Cannes film festival and went on to become a cult horror classic.

Jackson followed up with Meet the Feebles (1989), which features puppets and people in animal suits engaging in the seamier aspects of human behaviour, and the zombie film Braindead (1992; U.S. title, Dead Alive), which won numerous international science fiction awards and was said by some to be the goriest film ever made. He then turned to a real-life incident for Heavenly Creatures (1994), about two teenage girls who kill one girl's mother. Its screenplay garnered Academy Award nominations for Jackson and Frances Walsh, his partner. The mock documentary Forgotten Silver (1995) and the ghost story The Frighteners (1996) followed.

For The Lord of the Rings, Jackson took the unprecedented step of shooting all three installments simultaneously, over a 15-month period in New Zealand, the location of all his movies. In addition to directing the films, he also cowrote the screenplays. The three movies—The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002), and The Return of the King (2003)—were both critically and commercially successful. Jackson received Academy Awards for best director and for best adapted screenplay (which he shared with Walsh and Philippa Boyens) for The Return of the King, which won a total of 11 Oscars, including best picture. He next directed and cowrote a remake of King Kong (2005). His later works include The Lovely Bones (2009), an adaptation of Alice Sebold's novel about a murdered girl who observes her family and killer from the afterlife. In 2009 Jackson was awarded a knighthood.

LOTR Characters

Frodo (Frodo Baggins)

Mr. Frodo Baggins is almost middle-aged, but he still looks young, and the neighbours are getting suspicious. Frodo has inherited a small, round secret from his cousin, Bilbo ("Mad") Baggins. He is about to discover that the secret is larger and rounder than he thought - world-sized, in fact. Honest, well-meaning Frodo goes looking for help and advice instead of running very fast in the other direction. Poor Frodo.

Frodo means "wise" and Baggins means "packed lunch", which sums up a thoughtful Hobbit. His ancestors were probably grocers.

Frodo is the real hero of The Lord of the Rings, but as he is about three and a half feet tall (normal for folk in The Shire, known to some as "halflings", and thought by others to be mythical), people tend to overlook him. Except ...

... Sam (Samwise Gamgee)

Sam mows the lawns and does other odd jobs for Frodo and his neighbours. He thinks very highly of Mr. Frodo and old Mr. Bilbo, who taught him to read and write (meaning no harm by it, says Sam's dad). Sam is normally a sensible young man, but he has an outlandish idea about wanting to see Elves. So he's up for a bit of travel even if it means leaving The Shire. His life experience encompasses nothing more dangerous than fierce dogs, bad-tempered Hobbits and the occasional large house spider; but this is a better preparation for the outside world than you might expect.

Samwise means "half wise" and "Gamgee" means a cottony material. Tolkien borrowed the name Gamgee from a real-life character he met on holiday.

Bilbo Baggins

Elderly Bilbo is not in the least mad, but somewhere along the line he developed an unhealthy taste for adventure, strange languages, foreign lands, meeting Elves, and so on (possibly from his poor dear mother). Worse that that, he writes poetry. He is not ageing fast enough, and he sometimes vanishes suddenly. When Bilbo vanishes conclusively, his friends and neighbours are rather relieved. But to his cousin Lobelia's fury, Bilbo has made Frodo his sole heir - fair and square with no contradictions. Lobelia doesn't know how lucky she is.

Nobody knows what "Bilbo" means. Bilbo is, of course, the hero of The Hobbit.

Merry (Meriadoc Brandybuck)

A cousin of Frodo's on the Brandybuck side, Merry is just old enough to have some sense, but not wary enough to run away when he hears that Frodo's in trouble. He's also the son of the Master of Buckland and comes of a long and (for Hobbits) warlike line. All he has to do is convince the tall people that someone knee-high to an undead homicidal wraith-lord can contribute something positive to the war effort.

The name "Meriadoc" is Welsh or Cornish. Even Tolkien ('A Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings' in A Tolkien Compass, Ed. Jared Lobdell, Open Court, La Salle, Illinois, 1975) does not give a meaning for "Meriadoc". He probably chose it to match the short name "Merry". "Brandybuck" is given as "the Brandywine (border) river" + buc/bucca, a male deer or goat (Old English) (a familiar greeting to a male friend in Old Norse).

Pippin (Peregrine Took)

Pippin is a young adult and, contrary to rumours flying around, he doesn't spend his time putting his foot through floorboards. But he could still be in that inquisitive stage most of us go through aged about 8. However, he comes from a large, boisterous family and, as the story unfolds, several people owe their lives to his keen sense of how to survive any crisis not of his own making.

Pippin smokes, of course. All Hobbits smoke, but as they naturally live so long and die of such natural causes*, they haven't worked out that it's bad for them yet.

*Like falling down a flight of steps in a bath chair - but that's not in this story.

Peregrine is an old name meaning a traveller or pilgrim, and Took is a Hobbit name of no known meaning. Pippin, Peregrine's short name, is descended from Pepin (L. Pippinus) (also known as "The Short"), the name of the father of King Charlemagne in Dark Age Europe, as well as a kind of small orange-coloured dessert apple, and is popular with owners of ginger cats.

Gollum (Smeagol, family name not known)

It's easy to miss the fact that Gollum is a Hobbit. He doesn't eat much, for a start. Gollum is driven by a need verging on madness, and he no longer finds riddles entertaining. He wishes he was back under his quiet, dark mountain; but more than that, he wants his ring back. The question is, will his obsession lead him to kill someone, and if so, who will his victim be?

Gollum, who is pivotal to the story, is a strongly divided personality who is generally considered to be the most complex character study in The Lord of the Rings.

Smeagol ("one who digs in and investigates") is called Gollum because he makes odd noises when he talks.

Gandalf (Mithrandir, Gandalf the Grey)

Gandalf is a very, very, old wizard and firework-maker by profession. It's a useful business that gets him invited to social gatherings from Dale in the east to Hobbiton in the west, Rivendell in the north to the powerful city of Minas Tirith in the south. He travels still further afield, not always by invitation. Several decades of research in some tight corners have convinced him that Frodo's small round problem is indeed the bigger problem he fears it is.

Gandalf is old and his eyebrows are long, but he knows more than anyone else, so where the problem goes, he must go too. At least, that's the plan. Unfortunately there are some people who can do more fire at once even than Gandalf ...

Despite Gandalf's advanced age, he runs consistently ahead in polls asking "which character readers most admire", "which character readers would most wish to resemble" or even "which character readers would most like to date". He has a long wiry beard, smokes like a chimney, and is not as tall as he looks. Gandalf has charisma. Even his horse has charisma.

"Gandalf" is a name from the Old Norse Eddas, meaning (in this context) something like "spirit-being with a wooden staff (or spiritual advisor)". Mithrandir is an Elvish word meaning "grey pilgrim".

Aragorn (Son of Arathorn, hereditary chieftain of the northern Dunedain; Elessar; Strider)

Like Frodo, Aragorn is getting middle aged. Unlike Frodo, he looks it. The locals call him Strider, his clothing bears the scars of long-distance hiking, and he admits that he hangs around behind hedges. His sword is broken. Tall, dark, muddy and mysterious, Aragorn isn't the sort of person you accept lifts from. However, after serious misgivings, the Hobbits accept that he wants to be helpful, knows shortcuts, and is recommended by Gandalf. He also smokes a pipe. So that's OK.

The first sign that he is respected by important people is when a tall Elf runs up in the middle of nowhere and says he's been looking for him all over. Then an aspiring lord from a distant country arrives, asking about a broken sword. Aragorn gets the sword fixed. And it's not exactly even his sword. What can it all mean?

Aragorn runs Gandalf a close second in the "character everyone wants to be" stakes; worse than that, they seem to want to marry him.

Even Tolkien did not get around to working out what the name "Aragorn" meant until very late in his career, but it was originally the name of Gandalf's horse. (We said Gandalf's horse has charisma.)

Boromir (Son of Denethor, the hereditary Steward of Gondor)

Boromir is a very, very, very distant relation of Aragorn's and, as if to prove it, when he first turns up he's well dressed but muddy, having travelled half way across the known world to solve a riddle he heard in a dream. Well, his brother heard it first. (Cynics have asked whether Boromir claimed to share the vision in order to bag the quest.)

He is proud, well-bred, argumentative, and has somewhat fixed ideas about what he needs to achieve and how to do it. Boromir is basically a good man, but his narrow outlook and lack of imagination may cause problems for the company. Or for himself, of course.

Boromir is tall, dark and noble when not losing his temper.

"Mir" is an elvish word meaning "jewel". Boro- may mean "(fiery) red" or may mean "steadfast".

Gimli the Dwarf (Gimli Gloin's son from Erebor)

The travelling company seems to spend a lot of time telling people that Gimli is a Dwarf. As he is short, carries a large axe and dresses in chain mail, you'd think it was obvious. What the party is actually saying is that Gimli is their Dwarf. Dwarves (sic) are great traders and fighters but don't go into partnership with other races very often.

Gimli is with the expedition as the representative of his people, and in the process does some very un-dwarf-like things (mainly involving Elves) while never departing from his true dwarvish nature. He is touchy, but no touchier, it seems, than the average Elf. He prefers to stay away from trees with eyes.

He loves all things made of stone - and the Lady Galadriel, who is two feet taller than him, a good deal older, and married to someone else. Truly for Gimli the quest of the Ring is a learning experience, but nothing his staunch nature cannot live up to.

Many people, especially short broad ones with beards, identify strongly with Gimli.

"Gimli" may be an Old Norse name of no known meaning.

Legolas

(Son of Thranduil the Elven-king of Eryn Lasgalen, or Greenwood the Great, formerly Mirkwood. Also known as Greenleaf. Legolas, not the wood.)

JRR Tolkien is rightly famous for his invention of convincing imaginary languages, and there is no doubt about it - once you get involved with Elves you will quickly be up to your ears in complicated personal names. Fortunately, most of them are musical and attractive to say, however you say them.

Legolas is with the expedition as a representative of the Elves. As Elves live indefinitely and don't visibly age, Legolas could be viewed as young, tallish and handsome in a subaltern-before-the-haircut way. He dresses mostly in green, and carries a bow and a medium-length carving knife, which offers a hint that he is no wimp in the combat department.

JRR Tolkien has said that Legolas has the least to do of all the Company; but he is the representative of day-to-day Elvishness, and his developing friendship with Gimli in defiance of the hereditary irritability between their two peoples is one of the most consistent and optimistic threads in the story.

"Legolas" is an Elvish name which translates "Greenleaf".

Galadriel

(Called the Lady of Lórien; lady Galadriel; the lady of Lóthlorien; queen Galadriel (but only by Gimli), and so on.)

As there are no women among the travelling company in The Lord of the Rings, the heroines of the story appear on stage for a comparatively short duration. Despite this, they leave an indelible mark, and Galadriel most of all.

Until the company arrives unexpectedly and in some distress in the woodlands of Lothlorien, Galadriel is not once mentioned; thereafter, hardly an event befalls the Heroes but one of them calls Galadriel to mind and is encouraged by the memory and the thought of her active vigilance in her distant woodland fastness.

Being an Elf-women and very old, Galadriel is also naturally tall, wise and beautiful. She is also a married grandmother, so expect no romance except the courtly kind. The smitten hero is Gimli the Dwarf, who responds rather to her generosity and understanding than her beauty.

"Galadriel" is an Elvish name which translates "light-crowned-(lady)", a name given to her by Celeborn to celebrate her golden hair.

Celeborn (Lord of Lothlórien)

Celeborn (pronounced with a "k") is Galadriel's tall, wise and handsome husband. Her true lover for countless eons (yéni unótimë), Celeborn is also a bit highly strung, providing a handy foil for Galadriel's greater wisdom and calm. In this way Galadriel also represents the figure of the queen who restrains the impulsive fears of her male consort and fosters peace between nations.

"Celeborn" is an Elvish name meaning something like "silver-tall (not unlike a large tree)". See Unfinished Tales by JRR Tolkien.

Elrond (Master Elrond Halfelven)

Descended from two mixed-race marriages of High Elves and mortal Men in ages past, wise Elrond is the last heir of the elvish High Kings in Middle-earth. Once a leader of armies, Elrond has lived a quiet life in a secluded valley for the last 4400 years (give or take a couple of wars), working with Gandalf, Galadriel and other wise people to care for the lands around them. He even puts up with Hobbits reciting poetry about his parents*.

Elrond heals the sick and never says anything mean, but he can still hint (in front of a committee) that a three-and-a half-foot-tall young-middle-aged man is the right person to carry an unexploded ring into a life-threatening situation. And get the answer "I will".

Elrond's house at Imladris (Rivendell) is the meeting place and haven for all the races concerned with the welfare of Middle-earth. Coming soon to a house name near you.

(* An extensive subject for poetry. See "Earendil the Mariner", below.)

"Elrond" is an Elvish name meaning "vault of stars".

Eomer (Son of Eomund, Third Marshall of the Mark of Rohan)

Eomer has recently become the heir of the king of Rohan, a nation of horse-breeders. Currently his job is to patrol one of the border sectors of his homeland with a troop of armed horsemen and nothing to guide him but a growing suspicion that all is not well with the neighbours.

The arrival of Aragorn focuses Eomer sharply. For a start, Aragorn may be the only person he's ever met who is taller than him. While we grow old and cynical, Eomer remains 25, devoted, quick to trust his instincts and ever so slightly hyperbolic. He's also tall, blonde and wears pigtails. Floating anxiety is something we will never associate with Eomer.

When he finds himself cut off by the enemy, he laughs. Told he's riding to almost certain death, he says he doesn't understand this complicated stuff, and owes Aragorn a favour. Finding his sister dead 300 miles from where he last saw her, he just goes a bit berserk. It's not till he discovers that she's only half dead that he betrays the smallest sign that he knows how to worry.

"Eom(a)ere" is an Old English poetic name meaning "famous horse".

Eowyn (Eomund's daughter, niece of the King of Rohan)

All the floating anxiety not suffered by Eomer settles on the shoulders of his younger sister Eowyn. Eomer keeps himself occupied patrolling his boundaries and chasing horse-rustlers. 23-year-old Eowyn sits beside the throne of her much-loved foster-father, watching the king grow older and iller and ever more afraid of what is happening beyond his borders.

A capable horsewoman, there is no doubt that Eowyn would like to kick some ass, but that isn't her job. Tall, fair, virginal, and educated from birth to carry the drinks round, Eowyn is a Lady meet to marry the Lord of a great kingdom. Instead, she meets Aragorn.

He's tall, charismatic and engaged. Her life, held together largely by convention and willpower, begins to fall apart. Too sane to go mad and too decent to get even, she does what any real woman does in these situations - she gets a new hat.

Eowyn with her notable hair and her pseudopterodactyline antagonist is one of the most painted scenes in The Lord of the Rings. Just about every Tolkien artist has a version of it (or two).

"Eowyn" is a Tolkien original name built of Old English elements, meaning "horse-joy".

Faramir (Son of Denethor)

Faramir is the younger son of Denethor, the hereditary Steward of Gondor. Somewhat in the shadow of his older brother Boromir, Faramir nonetheless is the recipient of the mysterious dream that sends Boromir riding north to find Imladris, a broken sword and a Halfling. So it is with some surprise that Faramir finds that the Halfling has (unwittingly) come to him. Tall, dark and around 35, as part of the thin green line of undercover skirmishers defending Gondor's tattered eastern border, Faramir is kept under constant pressure by his increasingly stressed father until the situation breaks down under the strain. All he has to do now is survive the best care his family can give him.

"Mir" is an elvish word meaning "jewel". There is no gloss on "Fara-" but it may mean "hunter".

Denethor (Steward of Gondor)

Ever since the southern kingdom of Gondor ran out of kings after a high-level conference with the Lord of the Nazgul just under a thousand years earlier, the Stewardship of the realm has been passed down from heir to heir. This is the custom of Gondor, and Denethor is determined to be faithful to the laws of his people. He seems to be fighting off old age and anxiety more successfully than his neighbour Theoden, yet under examination he is equally pessimistic. If his leadership cracks, who will rally the people of Minas Tirith as their city burns?

"Denethor" is an old Elvish name meaning "Son of Dan", the name of a first-age Elvish tribal chieftain. As such it has no significance apart from being old and traditional.

Theoden (Son of Thengel; King of Rohan)

Death has taken the once-vigorous Theoden's wife, sister and brother-in-law and now his only son. War is gathering just beyond his borders, and his people's horses are being carried off by raiders. He is old and infirm, and now without a son to take his place. A corrupt councillor at his ear whispers that his only heir, his nephew Eomer, is a traitor. Theoden needs a breath of fresh air to clear his mind, but all he can remember is a wizard who strode in, spread the bad news around and rode off on his best horse (asking first, of course). Not too high a price, says the corrupt councillor, to be rid of Gandalf Stormcrow. And all Eomer can do is watch and grit his teeth.

"Theoden" is an Old English poetic word for a king. So is "Thengel". Most kings of Rohan seem to be called "king" in some form or another.

Treebeard (Fangorn for short)

Treebeard is an Ent. Ents are the most uniquely Tolkienian beings in The Lord of the Rings or for that matter anywhere in Tolkien's work; perhaps even more uniquely Tolkienian than Hobbits. Treebeard looks like a tree, moves like a tree and talks like an Ent. Ents are the Shepherds of the Trees. They live their lives extremely slowly and have a great aversion to haste. But when someone brings them news of a great danger growing on their northern border, the resulting committee meeting lasts only three days! Any arborealist can tell you that a tree will bring down a building in time. Ents have haste stored up just for times like these.

"Treebeard" translates the Elvish name "Fangorn" (beard-of-tree), which is also the name of the forest where he lives. "Ent" is an Old English word for a giant being.

Sauron (The Dark Lord, The Enemy, He Who We Do Not Name, etc.)

Who is The Lord of the Rings? Even without the ruling ring, there is no doubt that Sauron is still the master. Having lost his looks in an over-hasty earthquake a bit over 3,000 years earlier, the Dark Lord sensibly stays holed up in his fortress, the impregnable Barad-Dur (a.k.a. The Dark Tower) and drives his followers and minions on with fear and promises. Last time, it was personal. This time, all he wants is to be master of the world and all its peoples. As an ancient being of otherworldly might, what he wants he generally gets. Catch: when he made the ruling ring, he built much of his own primaeval power into it. Then he lost the ring. Now his agents are searching for it, and they have recently heard of "Hobbits".

Sauron is indubitably the villain of the piece. Not only is he trying to take over the world, but rumour says he strips his victims right down to their bare souls before he starts torturing them.

"Sauron" is not given a meaning in The Lord of the Rings, although Tolkien elsewhere relates it to an earlier version "Gorthaur", which means something like "great terror".

The Lord of the Nazgul

(The Lord of the Ringwraiths, the Witch King, the Black Captain, etc. He is not called by name in The Lord of the Rings.)

The Lord of the Nazgul is the imprisoned spirit of a former king of the Dúnedain, a people descended from the advanced civilisation of the Númenoreans after their island homeland sank due to a grave miscalculation about how far they could emigrate westwards. Some of the ex-Númenoreans, both then and earlier, chose to follow Sauron in return for promises of earthly power. Unfortunately this appears to have involved losing most of their physical presence and all of their independence, and who knows what else. The Lord of the Nazgul is therefore (possibly) another distant cousin of Aragorn's. Sauron uses the Nazgul as his agents of terror. They can wreak terrible havoc on body and spirit, but they have certain problems if they lose their clothing or their steeds. Also they aren't very smart about interpreting cryptic ancient prophecies.

The Nazgul (The Ringwraiths, the Nine)

See above. There are nine of them, one for each of the rings that Sauron gave to mortal Men. Never accept rings from strangers. The Ringwraiths have flying steeds and spine-chilling voices not entirely unlike air-raid sirens. (Tolkien profoundly disliked air warfare).

The Balrog (name not on record)

We mentioned that there are people who can do more fire even than Gandalf. He's large. He's dangerous. He bursts into flames, and he's on for about four minutes. More debate has been expended on the exact nature of the Balrog than just about any other topic in The Lord of the Rings. It just goes to show, to paraphrase Gandalf, that you can confront mankind with the eternal verities of life and destiny, and they will sit on the edge of ruin and talk about whether the big chap in the cavern had wings or not. We think this is a phenomenon that JRR Tolkien did not anticipate. The Balrog's relations say they never expected the fuss, either.

"Balrog" is derived from an older Elvish word meaning "demon of terror". Believe it!

Saruman (Saruman the White, Curunir)

Ancient spirits of great power walk among mankind. Some, like the Balrog, appear openly as spirits of destruction and terror. They are bad people. Some, like the Istari, or wizards, live the lives of elderly human beings, but long-lived and with rather more energy than most pensioners. They have been sent by the Valar, the powers who shaped the world, to help the people of the world resist the forces of evil. Saruman the White is their chief, and the head of the White Council, the executive body of those people called The Wise. He stays at home and out of sight a lot these days - which is presumably why he can afford to wear pastels. (His colleagues are Gandalf the Grey and Radagast the Brown.)

Both "Saruman" (Old English) and "Curunir" (Elvish) mean "clever person".

Arwen Evenstar (Arwen Undomiel, daughter of Elrond)

It's not a plot spoiler to say that she is Aragorn's fiancee. Not a great deal is known about Arwen, Elrond's daughter and Galadriel's grand-daughter, an Elf by upbringing (and mostly Elf by breeding), said to be the likeness of her ancestress Luthien Tinuviel, the fairest maiden ever born. "Such loveliness in living thing Frodo had never seen before nor imagined in his mind ..." the story says. Lucky for Aragorn. Not, perhaps, so lucky for Arwen. Her main occupation at the time of The Lord of the Rings seems to be embroidery (or maybe appliqué). The last thing the narration tells us before we get Frodo's reaction is that her mother was tortured by Orcs. Not an entirely quiet life, then. Arriving late in the development of The Lord of the Rings, Arwen's part in it is so far out of the mainstream that Tolkien wrote a separate story for her, A Part of the Tale of Aragorn and Arwen, usually found in Appendix A of The Return of the King. That tale concludes the entire narration.

"Arwen" is an Elvish name meaning "royal maiden" (it's also a Breton or Welsh word for a muse), and "Undomiel" translates "Evenstar".
