Questioning Attebery’s ‘Bullseye’: Interviews with Young Readers of Fantasy may Decenter \u3ci\u3eThe Lord of the Rings\u3c/i\u3e
Get PDFIn 2018 and 2019, I interviewed young readers about their opinions of The Lord of the Rings (LotR) as a part of my Ph.D. thesis. Their ideas concerning the genre of the text destabilize Attebery’s use of it as a central point for the genre. Since these readers do not demonstrate a consensus that LotR is a work of fantasy, one is left to wonder if the idea of the fuzzy set proposed by Attebery is accurate when considering the lived experiences of readers. This leads to several questions about why these young readers have categorized the story the way they have, and questions about what this means for Attebery’s attempted ‘definition’ of the genre. Does it limit his definition, or does it expand I in new ways? This presentation is a lengthy consideration of these questions as well as a brief summary of my findings from my interviews with young readers about the genre of LotR
Boromir’s Smile and Other Expressions of Wartime Joy in Tolkien
Get PDFBoromir’s last words to Aragorn are, “I have failed.” But his final gesture as he dies a few seconds later is a smile. Between the two moments, generating this final expression, are Aragorn’s words reassuring Boromir that he has gained a victory and that Minas Tirith shall stand. What emotions are we to infer from this smile? Tolkien’s choice of this ending for one of his most complex characters touches on a larger theme of joy in the midst of the horrors of war in The Lord of the Rings and the legendarium of the Silmarillion. In this paper I will explore the implications of Boromir’s final moment along with other expressions of a positive emotion in the face of “the long defeat” of Tolkien’s world
