The Lord Of The Rings (books and movies) are easily among the most beloved and influential stories in Western popular culture. But if you know nothing about them, it's all good! Ricky's got your back and we'll have a great discussion!
What does it mean to be truly devoted to a cause or duty? How do characters’ devotion to their duty, families, missions and agendas lead to death, drama, glory and more? How do our own devotions lead us in certain direction in our lives?
How do different cultures and stories reflect the idea of loyalty and sacrifice for the greater good? Whether you’re a fan of The Lord of the Rings or completely new to the story, this discussion will explore these timeless themes across cultures and literature.
Let's have a thoughtful conversation hosted by Ricky, where we’ll dive into The Lord of the Rings and focus on the powerful theme of devotion to duty. Ricky will guide us and share key characters and moments from the story that highlight this theme, while also inviting you to reflect on how duty and loyalty are depicted in Chinese stories or other cultural narratives. Whether you’re familiar with Middle-earth or simply interested in discussing universal ideas of honour and sacrifice, let's have an engaging and thought-provoking conversation! Let's explore, share, and connect together!
