THE FANTASTIC UNIVERSE AND LANGUAGE OF THE ”LORD OF THE RINGS” SERIES

Summary/Abstract: In the project entitled „Universe and fantastic language of Lord of the Ringsŗ I have defined and analyzed in a case study, the fantastic elements crossing the Ring trilogy, „The Fellowship of the ringŗ (2001), „The two towersŗ (2002), „Return of the Kingŗ (2003), with focus on the world which reflects fantastic indices and the reflected world: universe (fantastic), characters or beings (fantastic), objects or attributes (fantastic), actions (of fantastic nature),objects - symbol, key characters (belonging to the realm of the fantastic), mirror worlds, the principle of reflection, analysis of words or fragments which focus and outline a fantastic language and conclusions from the two worlds, one that reflects and the world of reflected (world of the above vs world of „undergroundŗ, the world of ease and relaxed, the Shire (County), in constant harmony with oneself and with others vs the world of turmoil, eager for influence and forestall on other territories, the land of nowhere, the land of orca, Mordor, by Sauron's dominance). The two worlds, like their characters, are very different and do not have a common ideal, its characteristics being opposite: tranquility vs fussiness, terror, fear, insanity; balance vs chaos, randomness, imbalance; good vs evil, cruelty, selfishness; light vs tarnish, breaking, shutdown, and so forth. The objective of this study is, by outlining the elements of fantastic nature, to focus on the parallelism of these two universal principles, two limits, up vs down, two possibilities, two powers Frodo vs Sauron.
