Animation film by Kenji Kamiyama The Lord of the Rings: The Rohirrim War was not as direct adaptation of the novel by Jrr Tolkien that Peter Jackson’s live trilogy had been. He only made a few paragraphs of the annexes of The Lord of the Rings In a feature film, which involved many creative freedoms. The film protagonist, Hera, had no name in the novel, and his involvement in the version of Tolkien’s story was minimal. Despite some major differences compared to source equipment, Rohirrim’s warWriters clearly understood Tolkien and wanted to do justice to his world. This was obvious from a single line of dialogue spoken by the main antagonist of the film, Wulf. After being beaten by Hera in a culminating duel, Wulf fell on his knees and mumbled: “I knew it. From the moment I met you for the first time, I knew you were my destiny.”

Hera was mercy on his childhood friend and dropped her weapon, but as soon as she did it, he rushed forward and pushed his sword to him. Closely santing Wulf’s attack, Hera struck him on the ground and crushed his throat with his shield, killing him. In the context of the film, the meaning of Wulf’s last words seemed simple: he expected what he met his end in the hands of Hera. Even in the flashback that showed the pair that was children, Hera accidentally injured Wulf, leaving him with a scar through the eyes. They also transmitted a feeling of condemned love. Although he was struck by her, she only saw him as a friend, and even if she had developed feelings for him, the rivalry between their fathers would have made an impossible relationship. In an interview with the disappearance, the writer Philippa Boyens also explained the quote from Wulf: “In this declaration is the complexity of his love for itself at this moment of ultimate domination.” However, there was a different way for fans of the novel to interpret the line.

Doom was a recurring theme in the Lord of the Rings

In modern language, the word “silly” has a purely negative connotation, recalling death and destruction. Tolkien sometimes used the term in this way, as in the disturbing name of Mount Doom, but he also used an archaic definition. In the medieval texts that inspired Tolkien, “Doom” simply meant “judgment” or “decision”, whether of a legal official or, more full of God. Thus, in The Lord of the RingsTolkien frequently used the term to refer to fate, whether it is negative. In the field of the environment, some tales are reasons of celebration rather than fear.

For example, in the chapter “The Council of Elrond” The communion of the ringAragorn announced that “Doom and Great Deeds” was imminent due to the discovery of the only ring and the overhaul of Narsil, two events that could spell the fall of the Lord of Darkness Sauron. Likewise, when Gandalf realized that Frodo had managed to destroy the only ring in the chapter “Le Champ de Cormallen” The return of the kingHe proclaimed happily: “Stand, Western men! Stand and wait! It’s time for misfortune.” Tolkien Silmarillion Even understood a character named Mandos, who was known as the Doomsman of the Valar. Although it would look like a nasty title for most modern readers, it was only called such because he was the judge of Valar, making decisions concerning fate.

Wulf’s feelings for Hera were his fall in the Rohirrim war

Armed with this knowledge, Wulf’s latest words Rohirrim’s war Take an additional level of meaning. Wulf knew that Hera would be his fate, but not necessarily that she would kill him. If they had married and lived the rest of their days as a happy couple, she could always have been considered her loss by the definition of Tolkien.

From an early age, the life of Hera and Wulf was intertwined. Their relationship began as a friendship that has flourished in an unrepected love and was finally transformed into bitter animosity. At each stage of the path, Hera was in the mind of Wulf. Although he said that his conquest of Rohan was a way to avenge his father, who had been killed by King Helm Hammerhand, it was clear that he was more concerned about Héra than Helm. It is a more tragic interpretation of Wulf’s latest words, because it means that it wanted to hope for a brighter end. His obsession assured that his destiny was dark.
