Title: Elves shoveled my driveway! O_O
Post by: Alyx. on December 09, 2008, 02:15:12 PM
Okay, so this morning, my dad told me to shovel the driveway. We have a HUGE driveway, and the snow was like 10 inches deep. So I just realised I was supposed to be doing this now, go outside, and...

My driveway is already shoved! O_O

I was home all day, and I heard or saw nothing! My sister was at school, and my dad was at work! Now seriously, WTF?

Now if only magic elves came in at night and changed my sex... >.>

P.S. Probobly isn't really elves but stilly mysterious...

Sillies!

Evis is dead!  And ther aren't any elves.  So that means that your driveway was shoveled by elvish impersonators!

LoL.  My mom once woke up to find prisoners shoveling her driveway.  It was nice, but not nearly as charming as elves.  ;)

Since, in any reading of LotR its the Elves fault, since they made the damn ring in the first place, they ought to be shoveling more than snow.

I've read all the books, and I somehow missed that part

If not being almost the topic sentence, it is for sure the real moral of the book, that you can - out of good will perhaps - make things (technologies) that you can't control once they get out in the world, and that thing you made for betterment in the end lies waste to all that is good and holy.

No one, not Gandalf, nor even the Elf Queen, can control the power of the Ring.  In fact, the only person who The Ring does not seem to have power over is the only person in the whole book who is acting out of intentions greater than himself, and that's Sam.  In the end, in the final bit, its really Sam that destroys the ring out of his love of Frodo.

What bothered me, and still does, is not so much the reinvented/re-written scenes, including a love deal that never is in the book, its the end that was utterly, completely and totally wiped out, and that's the real lesson of the books.  At the end of R&J, a work that Tolkin was pretty conversant with, Willie, in the voice of the Prince gives the real message of the play.

See, what a scourge is laid upon your hate,
That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love!
And I, for winking at your discords too,
Have lost a brace of kinsmen. All are punish'd.


And indeed, in LotR, all are punish'd too.  That's what the end is about.  Substitute 'love of control' for 'hate' and its LotR all the way.

The elves who made The Ring, gone.  The wizards and ents, and orcs, gone.  The hobbits, gone.  Only man remains.  All were punish'd.

Did you just read the four books or did you read the The Silmarillion also. It's been so many years since i read it but if I remember correctly it covers the creation of the ring in more detail and sauron's origins. The Silmarillion is written by his son but it is composed mostly of Tolkiens earlier works
