Theme

One of the major themes of this book is more than meets the eye. This theme shows that this book can be read many different ways and there are many different things the person may not know. During the book Golem says he can be trusted by his masters but in the end he turns on frodo and almost takes the ring. The person who holds the throne of Gondor also hides his true thought of the king returning to save the kingdom because he knows he will return but he does not admit it.

Another major theme of this book is with only peace and love the world is a better place and with hate and destruction it is worse. During the book you it explains visions of how the future of what middle earth would look like if only the dark side ruled the earth. There are also glimpses of the future where they explain how the future will be if only the good side ruled the earth. Another important thing in the book is what you read about is how the people in the book know how to end a conflict or by trying to change the outcome of the future.

Setting

The time during this book is placed between earth’s history and mythology and has no specific time. The book takes place in Middle Earth during the time of war because a hobbit had found the powerful ring of power during the first book. Now the humans are about to go to war with the orcs and men who are outlaws in middle earth and this if for the future of the world. The time period of this book is not said in the book but it quickly says it is during medieval times when swords and bows and arrows were used.

If the writer of this novel had chosen a different setting then Middle earth and the medieval times it would have greatly impacted the outcome of the war, how many people were killed and the type of equipment and technologies they used during the time of war. If the Author had chosen to write his book during the 20th century they would be using modern weapons and most likely nuclear war. But thankfully the book is during the medieval times and used swords and bows.
