| Sumario: | In this article we will seek to delve into the temporal problems present in the elven kingdoms (particularly in Lothlórien) of Middle-earth created by the writer J. R. R. Tolkien. The analysis will be carried out from a metaphysical and religious perspective, so we will use concepts and ideas from the Confessions of Saint Augustine. To understand the temporal perception within The Lord of the Rings, it will be necessary to revisit the theme of mortality and immortality, since these are central to the development of the story. The purpose will be to comprehend Lothlórien as an elven creation that functions as a temporal escape within the novel, considering the metaphysical consequences that this presents. Furthermore, we will seek to demonstrate that time turns out to be a central axis in Tolkien's work. |
