Scholars, critics, and readers of The Lord of the Rings have identified and discussed many of its themes in the decades since its publication. This episode is my take on several themes I read into Tolkien's most popular work. It focuses on the first two books (The Fellowship of the Ring) and explores concepts such as the corruptive influence of Power and the One Ring, Tolkien's use of Mythology, and a world in decline. It is the first of several episodes dedicated to exploring Tolkien's themes.

The Red Book is a project I started in 2021 and was created to allow me the opportunity to dive into Tolkien's mythology. If you want to check out more of my content, please visit my YouTube channel. If you want to support this project, you can find me on Patreon.
