- The Silmarillion is a fantasy novel and therefore contains creatures and entities that could be deemed frightening. - It contains magic, fantasy violence, and death. Romance is minimally involved with sexual content nearly nonexistent as a kiss is the most explicit scene. - This is the origin story for the world behind the Lord of the Rings. General theological discussions may take place (not specific to any religion, however, it should be noted that the author was a Catholic so it may lean towards a secular analysis of Christian imagery and discussion at times)
