In chapter 6 of The Lord of the Rings, Frodo admires the forest. While the younger generation of Frodo and the rest of the Company passes through they are stopped by the elves. The elves state, “‘The name of Aragorn son of Arathorn is known in Lo´rien,’ said Haldir, ‘and he has the favour of the Lady. All then is well. But you have yet spoken only of seven.’ ‘The eighth is a dwarf,’ said Legolas. ‘A dwarf!’ said Haldir. ‘That is not well. We have not had dealings with the Dwarves since the Dark Days. They are not permitted in our land. I cannot allow him to pass.’ ‘But he is from the Lonely Mountain, one of Da´in’s trusty people, and friendly to Elrond,’ said Frodo. ‘Elrond himself chose him to be one of our companions, and he has been brave and faithful.” (Tolkien 447). Luckily the elves let the hobbits past because they do not fear them. They bring them up to view the forest. The old forest is being used by the Company and they are new people. This is very similar to how in The Gulag Archipelago, Solzhenitsyn explains how the new era of prisoners enter the older era of prisoners. In The Lord of the Rings, Tolkein explains, “The others cast themselves down upon the fragrant grass, but Frodo stood awhile still lost in wonder. It seemed to him that he had stepped through a high window that looked on a vanished world.” (Tolkien 456). This explanation of how beautiful the forest is can be compared to Lewis’ Tao. Lewis’ tao explains that there are things that are truly right and truly wrong. The forest can be seen as truly right in this scenario. The tao is something that is beautiful to Lewis and the forest is comparable.
