Comparisons between Game Of Thrones and Tolkien's Middle Earth Hi everybody! This is my second notebook entry and to be honest I don't had any idea of what topic present to you until I remember a discussion about George R.R Martin's Game Of Thrones and Tolkien's Middle Earth which I had with my sister a couple weeks ago, so I hope you enjoy some of our points of view and of course, if you want to open this topic to a public discussion only let me know and we can discuss some of this ideas in a deeper way. To begin with let me make clear that both GoT and M-E, as you may know,are representations of real historic events but with a fantasy prespective and in some cases elements of mythology and epic tales of many ancient civilizations. The next comparisons so, are related with some similarities about names, characters and events. Game Of Thrones Middle Earth Tyrion Lannister Tirion, the first city built by elves Valar Morghulis The word "Valar" which makes reference to a certain spiritual entities of great power. Sam and Pypar (Night's watch) Sam and Pippin (Two Hobbits friends of Frodo Baggins) Drogo (Khal) According with TLOTR Drogo is the name of Frodo's Father Dothraki race (lords of the horses) Rohirrim meaning (The Horse-Lords). So, as you can see, these are only a few examples of coincidence between both stories, and like I said these are only a personal points of view and of course both of them are extraordinary examples of creativity and talent.
