I'm writing an essay on relativism in LOTR
As part of my International Baccalaureate diploma requirements, I am to write a 3500-4000 thesis paper on any subject within certain criteria. I chose to do an English lit study on our favourite novel... hopefully my topic proposal will be accepted. It's on "The Relativist Portrayal of Good and Evil in LOTR". Basically, I'm planning to argue that good and evil do not exist in pure forms in LOTR, and the story is less of a battle between good and evil than one of innocence and corruption.
I think I'll be doing some, er, "research" here at Entmoot, so opinions on the subject are definitely welcome and appreciated.
