The Parallels of War between The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings.

The paper would be on the parallels of war that can be observed in wars in the both the books of J. R. R Tolkien and C. S. Lewis. The Lord of the Rings (books 2 and 3) and The Chronicles of Narnia (books 2 and 3). The paper would mainly focus on the similarities and differences between the wars scene presented in both books. What the wars accomplished and the part they play in struggle between good and evil. What influences authors’ view of wars and how they interpreted them through their books would also be analyzed. An example would be how each author presents the end of war. In the war of the ring many lives are lost, in the first great war of Narnia; the dead are raised back to life by Aslan in order to revive the vitality of Narnia. What the author tries to convey to their readers through their presentations of war and the morals to be learned from these events as they are presented in the books would be discussed.
