In a shocking twist that defies logic and common sense, a university professor has declared that “The Lord of the Rings” demonizes orcs. This absurd claim demonstrates how far some in academia are willing to stretch reality to push a misguided agenda.
The truth is unmistakable: orcs are villains in Tolkien’s epic saga. They are depicted as destructive and maleficent creatures with no redeeming qualities. This is not merely a matter of interpretation; it’s foundational to the story. Attempting to reframe them as misunderstood victims is a blatant distortion of the narrative’s essence.
This sort of radical thinking is not just an anomaly—it’s a growing trend in our universities, where leftist ideologies increasingly taint our cultural classics. The classics are being hijacked to serve a politically correct narrative that ignores the conflict between good and evil. This is an affront to both literature and the intellectual integrity we should expect from academia.
Tolkien’s masterpiece serves as a timeless exploration of morality, heroism, and the classic battle between light and darkness. To suggest otherwise is not only nonsense but an insult to the countless readers who have been inspired by these tales.
We must stand firm against this ideological indoctrination. Our classics should be revered and understood in their historical and literary contexts, free from the distorted lens of modern political correctness. It’s time to reclaim our literature and push back against those who seek to rewrite our cultural heritage.
