This research paper examines the mythological influence and depiction of heroism in J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, through a comprehensive analysis of key characters such as Aragorn, Frodo, Sam, Gandalf, Legolas, Boromir, Faramir, Theoden, and Éowyn. The study shows how Tolkien draws inspiration from ancient myths and legends to craft heroes who embody various qualities and archetypes. Each character represents different aspects of heroism; for instance, Aragorn's Journey reflects the archetype of a returning king, while Frodo's quest is a symbol of a sacrificial hero, burdened by the great task of destroying the One Ring. The research highlights different types of heroism, not only defined by their actions but also by their moral values, selflessness, and willingness to sacrifice their own lives for others. This comprehensive analysis of heroism in the narrative provides a deeper understanding of heroic ideas, which reveal insights into the timeless appeal of Tolkien's work and explore the human capacity for courage, friendship, and moral integrity in the face of materialistic modern life.
