However, they take a break to watch the ceremony for the Hundred Martyrs of Democracy celebration, when a plane hits the castle where Monzano's corpse is and subsequently falls into the ocean freezing all the water in the world. The irony is that the reason the three didn't burn his body right away was to see a ceremony for a group of soldiers who were trying to help save the world, and this ceremony, in a sense, ended the world. Since this is a purely fictional story on the surface, one can view this as entertaining.
In a deeper sense literature can be viewed to reflect truths about the real world. This is even more evident in the genre of allegory. In the Lord of the Rings, we see Frodo numerous times fight within himself whether he is most fit to carry the responsibility of the ring instead of fighting the enemy of the ring and accomplishing his journey. For instance, one can interpret Frodo's inner struggle as the inner struggle of a college student about to embark on a life long journey into the real world. As does Frodo question his own readiness for his journey, so does a college student. Am I ready for this journey? Will I survive? What is in store for me? All these questions and many more can run through a college students mind when interpreting this story. .
Tolkien's tale can emulate more than just a college student's mind and journey but truths to life in general. The Lord of the Rings can reveal the saving power of courage and simplicity of heart. For instance, Sam goes to retrieve Frodo after he is bitten by the giant spider trying to enter Mordor. Sam attacks the spider though it is an unbeatable foe. After he defeats the spider he takes up the ring as the bearer for a short while. Using the power of the ring, Sam, is able to escape the spider's lair and then save Frodo from the Orcs of Mordor. Sam sees Frodo as more than a friend but less than an equal. He is very loyal to Frodo and would do anything for his friend.
