Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Bamberg, language: English, abstract: Although there has been written a lot of investigative literature about the works of both J.R.R. Tolkien and J.K. Rowling, the research topic of this paper is still widely unexplored. Comparing the concepts of Tolkien´s Nazgûl and Rowling´s Dementors suggests itself since - besides their physical appearance - they offer distinct parallels but also, considering the background of their stories, are very different from each other. The analysis of this paper is supposed to determine the consequences fictional characters experience from encounters with those ghost-like creatures; the thesis underlying the analysis is that both Nazgûl and Dementors violate their victims in harming and/or destroying their souls.
