美國等級 9 - 12
Ever wondered the significance of Galadriel giving Gimli 3 hairs, or why Eärendil is the most beloved star of the Elves of Middle-earth, or how the Dark Lord Sauron became evil? If you’re like me, you finished The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with these sorts of questions in mind. Then you heard about The Silmarillion and were so excited, you started it as soon as you could get your hands on it. But then you got lost amid the archaic style and unfamiliar names. Like journeying to...
In this course, students will learn to: • Define, explain, and give examples of eucatastrophe, dyscatastrophe, and subcreation • Analyze themes in a work of literature • Interpret an archaic style of writing • Draw thematic, historical, and typological parallels between The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings

Everyone must have a copy of the book. It is available at most libraries, but students may find it helpful to purchase a paperback copy so they can make notes in the pages. I assume familiarity with The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books.
Battles in The Silmarillion tend to be quite violent, but the book’s elevated style means they are never described in graphic detail. Many of the stories in this book are tragedies or contain themes of loss or mortality. “Of Túrin Turambar” especially is known for making readers cry. This is not grimdark fantasy, though; no matter how dark things get in Tolkien's writing, the Shadow remains a small and passing thing, and there is light and high beauty forever beyond its reach. Spoilers for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
