"The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", "Star Wars", and "Star Trek" are but a few modern mythologies that have become woven into the tapestry of our western culture. We have not only embedded these modern myths into our culture but many people know these modern mythical cultures better than they do their own mundane, 'real' culture. Although this study is unconventional in the field of anthropology, this thesis analyzes J.R.R. Tolkien's work of "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings." The purpose of this thesis is to provide the evidence that fictional cultures are reflections of western ideals; that fictions can be studied like any other non-fictional culture using anthropological approaches; and that modern fictions are modern mythologies. In this thesis, the famous "The Lord of the Rings" series is analyzed using the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss's structural perspective and his model of defining the meaning of myth to demonstrate how Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" canon can be successfully analyzed in the same fashion.
