I like this.
I think that Tolkien was, indeed, writing an Epic. We, creatures of the modern age that we are, often seem to be unable to understand the Epics, probably because they were never meant to be read, but rather, to be sung. Look at The Illiad, The Oddyssey, Beowulf, etc. This tradition - one that has been with us for so long that we've forgotten even when it was that the first storyteller stood up and began to sing - is dying swiftly.
In Tolkien's works I find an echo of the feelings that I get when I read the Illiad or the Oddyssey - the strangest longing to have lived then, to have known such courage in such dark times. And I think that's why we're drawn to Tolkien's works. There are no Elves in our world, no Wizards, no Hobbits, and no Men of the West who will stand bravely before impossible odds. I think we long for a time when there were heroes we could look up to, when the land wasn't covered in concrete and the water and air poisoned by industry.
And I agree with some of the earlier commenters - Tolkien isn't very good at developing characters, but neither is Shakespeare. Many of his plays (including Hamlet, I might add) strike me as flat and boring. Maybe I'm just not a Shakespeare person, I don't know.
In the end, for me it's Tolkien's world that draws me in. He may not be able to develop characters well, but my GOD is he good at developing cultures. So, yes. |
