Salon Talks “The Lord of the Rings”

A salon discussion will take place at the Academy of Thinking with psychiatrist Lasha Kiladze.

🌟 Topic: “The Lord of the Rings” (Power and Morality)

➡️ The meeting will focus on an analysis of J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings in the context of power and moral responsibility. The discussion is based on interpreting the text as an allegorical narrative, where the Ring represents power that influences characters’ decisions, creates ethical dilemmas, and leads to personal transformations.

🔸 We will explore how power becomes a moral test and shapes an individual’s value system, paying special attention to different characters’ responses to the temptation of power (Frodo, Gandalf, Boromir, Gollum) as models of moral choice, self-control, and responsibility.

🔸 The lecture offers an opportunity to revisit the world of The Lord of the Rings, reflect on its key themes, and engage in an open discussion with the audience, addressing questions about both the work itself and its explicit or hidden ideas.

🍰 A buffet and a warm, welcoming atmosphere await you.
