Good and Evil in
Welcome to my website on Good and Evil in The Lord of the Rings.  This website is part of a research project for Religious Studies 2812, Religion and Popular Culture at Memorial University of Newfoundland. 

This website explores themes of good and evil in the motion picture trilogy
The Lord of the Rings. 

Please click on the icon to the left for the page of your choice.  You can read a summary of the story and a brief biography of J.R.R. Tolkien as well as the history of the creation of the epic novel and the film masterpiece.

Although this website is dedicated to an analysis of the film, many of the references discuss the material found in the novel as well.

I hope you enjoy your journey of discovery as  much as I did!
