A Study on the Theme of Tragic Fate in The Silmarillion
In The Silmarillion,the tragic fate is embodied in three aspects:the irresistible fate,the hero's resistance against the predetermined fate and the eventual self-destruction.The development and breakthrough of the theme of the tragedy of fate in the novel is embodied in the expansion of the connota-tion of fate and the reconciliation between men and fate behind the self-destruction ending.The value and significance of TheSilmarillion are J.R.R.Tolkien's construction of a new value system in the face of the impact of irrationalism and the call for the return to divine thinking under the background of"disenchant-ment".
