The mapping and thinking of the Lord of the Rings race on humans

After watching The Two Towers, the battle scene was magnificent, but I was no longer moved by many lines like the first The Fellowship of The Ring. However, there seems to be some thinking about the mapping of the various races, even the representative roles in each race, on people. Are the colorful characters in the Lord of the Rings a reflection of a certain trait or identity in our real world? Hobbit people-children, have childlike simplicity, are satisfied with what they have (food, manor), and satisfy some of the simplest basic desires (appetite, sleep). Therefore, without the temptation of the Lord of the Rings, the desire for power to rule the world is useless to them, and instead becomes the holder of the Lord of the Rings. Thinking: Can we in life also hold a child-like innocent heart, hold but not possess, and respond to the complex temptation world with a simple heart. Mage-the elder (priest) has accurate foresight of the future. Possess the power of spells, fight against the dark demons, and continue to be promoted in this victory (Gray-robed mage Gundorf became a white-robed mage after defeating the Balrog). Will also fall in temptation (Salaman). Thinking: Pastors have eloquence, knowledge, teaching and discernment abilities, and can fight against the forces of darkness and victory; but ability does not mean everything. He may fall, and change this ability from cultivating people to misleading people (heretics). Elves-angels have eternal life, but they also fall. Can talk to trees, birds and beasts and think: Eternal life may be lonely without love. People cannot lack love for mankind-human beings are dignified, proud, respect authority (king), value honor, have ideals (faith), hope (hope), love, swear to the death to protect the people they love, half-orcs-wicked people for their own desires Living people are cruel, rude, everything is for themselves (selfish desires). He has sold his soul to the evil one. Dwarves-unremarkable people with great energy. Humorous, simple, kind, competitive

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers quotes

  • [Aragorn walks through the ranks of Elven defenders of Helm's Deep]

    Aragorn: [In Elvish] Show them no mercy... for you shall receive none!

  • Gimli: It's true you don't see many Dwarf-women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf-men.

    Aragorn: [whispering to Eowyn] It's the beards.

    Gimli: And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no Dwarf-women, and that Dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground!

    [Eowyn laughs]

    Gimli: Which is, of course, ridiculous.
