抄録

Analyses The Lord of the Rings and shows that this work can be seen in the light of the Quest of the Holy Grail. Points out the common features between them. Explains how quests become the Quest; Sam grows from a fool to a wiseman like Percival does and attains his part in the Quest; Frodo comes to know pity and how it helps the achievement of the Quest, and then his unhealed wounds reveal that Frodo is a Maimed King as well. Frodo, however, has no Galahad or Percival who cures his wounds, so he must sail from the Middle-earth with his wounds like King Arthur, and the recovery of the Shire becomes Sam's work, thus Sam fills the part of Percival and becomes the Mayor just like Percival is enthroned designated by the Grail.
