Abstract (EN)

The Lord of the Rings was written by J.R.R.Tolkien in 1954. It is not just a adventure story about a ring though the plot is not complicated.It is an embodiment of the author's linguistic,philological,geographical and historical knowledge. Due to this background the story can be examined through realistic context. This pecularity differs it from other fantasy fiction.The purpose of this THesis work is to reveal its symbolic value. As the story carries deep moral meaning, themes and messages due to the author's intention to renew fantasy genre, we tried to correlate it with our time and show its significance in planning lessons of the English language. The Lord of the Rings can be interpreted from different aspects which enlarge the readers' opportunity to find important things according to individual taste.
