A Study on Frodo’s Quest within the Framework of Joseph Campbell’s Monomyth

Öz

There is a privileged and multifaceted relationship between literature and myth, and this relationship is beyond analyzing literary works in terms of mythical elements they incorporate because what is mythic and what is literary are not so dissimilar. Holding this view, monomyth theory argues that there is actually a single story retold or rewritten in different ways over and over again throughout human history, and in this single story the hero always goes through same stages. Simply put, in any story the hero receives the call to adventure, steps into an unknown realm and returns after accomplishing his task. The Lord of the Rings is the product of J. R. R. Tolkien’s efforts to create a mythology for England. Therefore, he skillfully merges characteristics of epics, legends, quest stories and myths into a single pot while creating Middle-earth and the characters. From this standpoint, The Lord of the Rings requires a mythic reading and analysis. To this end, this study aims to analyze the trilogy in terms of monomyth theory focusing on Frodo’s quest. While doing so, how the monomythic pattern appears in The Lord of the Rings is taken into consideration rather than validating monomyth theory. Consequently, this study reveals that the pattern of Frodo’s quest follows all the stages of monomyth in the same order delineated by Joseph Campbell.
