SUMMARY:

This study examines the dialogue and allegorical applicability between Jerusalem and Gondolin, highlighting the religious and literary influences in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.We investigated the relationship between the description of the Holy City in Revelation 21 and the elvish city of Gondolin in ’The Fall of Gondolin’ (2020). Both cities represent divine realitiesand share similarities, such as hidden secrets and experiences of invasion and fall due to their refusal to heed to divine messengers. The concept of ‘eucatastrophe’ plays a crucial role in both narratives, bringing hope after dark moments. Furthermore, we explore how the Tolkienian Ages relate to different historical periods and cultures, including the influence of Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian culture in his works. These cultural and religious influences are woven into Tolkien’s narratives, reflecting a perspective of hope. In summary, this work highlights the possible allegorical connections between Jerusalem and Gondolin, evidencing how Tolkien’s subcreation is deeply inspired by theoretical, religious, and artistic sources. This analysis transcends eras and cultures, revealing an ongoing search for hope in the midst of adversity.
