Tolkien's works of literature such as the Hobbit, and the Lord of the Rings, and many other works based on his middle-earth universe have had a monumental impact on the world of literature and as a result have had an impact on pop culture as well. This has to do in part because of how complex this universe of his actually is. Not only did Tolkien create his own world and universe, but he also created his own languishes such as Elvish and Dwarvish, as well as his own geography of middle-earth, and other cultures of people in this universe. When taking all of these things into consideration, it is easy to see what distinguishes his works of literature apart from other authors at that time as well as today. It is almost as if he created another reality in terms of complexity rather than just another fantasy to be enjoyed. With all of this in mind, Tolkein is regarded as one of if not the most influential writer of adventures and fantasies, and will forever be reknowned for his works and contributions in pop culture to this day and for the rest of the forseeable future as well
The works of Tolkien have been so influential on the fans and filmakers, that even today they are a primary source of entertainment to be enjoyed and can be seen as some of the most successful movies in the box office due to how high grossing they were when they were released. This would not have come to pass had it not been for the influnces his writing has had. Tolkein passed away September 2, 1972, and his movies are still being created at this time and will be continued to be made and enjoyed in the future for many generations to come. This goes to show how significant of an impact he has had in literature, because they are still being enjoyed and are advancing in popularity after all this time. Tolkien's works of literature have stood the test of time, not only for his epic tales and adventures, but for the more complex meanings and symbols behind his writings as well.
