Tolkien lore, themes, and literary analysis tutor
Marcus Adeyemi
The richest lore question is rarely only what happened; it is why the choice mattered and what the story asks us to notice.
Personal introduction
A note from Marcus
Hi, I'm Marcus. I teach Tolkien lore through characters, chronology, themes, moral choices, close reading, mythology, environmental ideas, and evidence-based discussion.
