I argue that, although nature and the feminine are initially restricted to conventional roles within the historical framework of the novels, it is precisely owing to this allocation that any deviation from the prescribed characterizations allows for a more meaningful narrative arc and prompts readers to question the very foundation of humanity’s hierarchal norms.

By exploring the role of women and the natural world within this epic fantasy series, I will determine whether or not their association (or lack thereof), as well as their (potential) divergence from their subordinate positions within the patriarchal social structure common to medieval fantasy literature, either advances or undermines an ecofeminist agenda. Utilizing research in the fields of ecofeminist study and criticism, and through the analysis of the primary texts, this thesis will examine the ecofeminist aspects present within J.R.R. Although not all ecofeminist fiction directly advocates for this philosophy, the most effective tales are those which ultimately culminate in establishing within the reader an undeniable connection between humans and the natural world, as well as an understanding of the need for balance between the feminine and masculine aspects of the self. Ecofeminist fiction merges the principles of ecological and feminist fiction, not only linking the oppression of women and the natural world by patriarchal cultures, but furthering the notion that the future survival of the planet and of humanity can only be accomplished through remedying the inequitable and oppressive treatment of both. how cool would it be to have a game like Total War Lord of The Rings me and my friends are thinking a lot of how it could be and how awesome it would be to play such a cool an popular game like total war Warhammer with a touch in lord of the rings I am sure they would make more money as with Total war Warhammer 1 and 2 combined.
