Baggins که شخصیت عاشق ماجراجویی بیلبو می سازه تا رابطه ارباب و مستخدم بین فرودو و سام و چرایی و ریشه اون در ذهن تالکین پرداخته نی شه و همین توضیحات برای خواننده عاشقانه با داستان ها جالب هستند. Cuando la obra de Tolkien salió a la luz, una de las críticas (mal intencionada), decía que la Tierra Media alentaba el escapismo. Tal vez hubiera algo de cierto en ello, pero por los motivos incorrectos, pues ¿quién no gustaría evadirse por los bosques y montañas de semejante mundo? ¿Los ríos, lagos, ciudades y fortalezas con tamaño trasfondo? Después de lo exhausta que es en parte nuestra existencia en este mundo concreto, donde el ser se define por el hacer y el tener, y del fluir incesante del día a día, una caminata por Arda no estaría nada de mal.The Second Age is made up of two great narrative channels: on the one hand the rise and cataclysmic downfall of the island-kingdom of Númenor and its aftermath, and on the other the forging of the Rings of Power and the rise to power of the new dark lord.
