Paremiological Forms as Literary Devices that Depict the Characters’ Worldview in The Return of the King by J. R. R. Tolkien

Summary/Abstract: This paper was a continuation of the methodological approach and an extension to the interpretational interest and strategy from its predecessor published in the journal Context no. 26/2022 that focused on vol. 2 of The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien. The main accent in this paper was put on various paremiological forms, namely on forms that have the function of advices and wisdom utterances in vol. 3 od the trilogy (The Return of the King). By exploring and by interpreting these types of paremiological forms, we tried to grasp the worldview of the different characters, in the attempt to show that certain utterances are typical, but not exclusive, for and to certain characters. For an example, even in the Two Towers we encountered wisdom utterances by Sam, Frodo’s friend, a character who is not exactly an epitome, nor a representation of exceptional intelligence, unmatched providence or intellectual cunningness. But, the notion that he atypically uses utterances that are not characteristic for him, makes these utterances even greater in meaning and proves that the reader and the interpreter cannot always guess what type of an utterance this or similar character might use, keeping the element of surprise alive and active. The point was to show that every character has a unique worldview which is described through the types of utterances he or she makes but that wisdom also can be uttered by atypical characters who are not necessarily presented as being particularly wise, like Sam for instance.
