Last chapters of LOTR, after the victory. The heroes come back at home and it is destroyed, no nature, no trees, and a big factory in the middle. Takes magic to restore the natural ecosystem.
- jacobush 6y agoTHAT is reality. It would take magic to restore many ecosystems by this point.
- NateEag 6y agoUh, no, it does not. It takes Samwise Gamgee, a devoted and skilled gardener, spending a year of his life planting new trees to replace the ones that were lost. Yes, he uses a magical resource he was given as part of his reforestation campaign, but it just speeds up the growth. The real factor is still Sam's tireless labor.
- gostsamo 6y agoWell, industry destroys the nature and we can argue if 20 years of growth in 1 year of actual work is significant or not, but the main point remains: there is substantial evidence that Tolkin didn't like industrialization. Can we agree on that?
- NateEag 6y agoOh, absolutely. It's clear in the books, and outside that he made it very explicit that he mourned what it was doing to the English countryside he loved. I was just being pedantic about the events of the narrative, because it's close to my heart.
