General Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien tells the history of the First Age of the World, a time long before The Lord of the Rings. The book recounts the legends of a distant past, when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dominated Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him to recover the Silmarils, three jewels of immense power and beauty. The narrative begins with the creation of the world through music and explores themes of creation, rebellion, loss, and redemption. It details the complex relationships between the Valar, the powerful beings of the world, and the Children of Ilúvatar, the Elves and Men, whose destinies are intertwined. The story also examines the nature of good and evil, and the cost of resistance.
