How much is the balrog worth?
The Balrog is a fictional demonic creature from J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth fantasy writings. He is pretty much Satan with big, leathery wings and a fire-whip. And he likes to pop out of abandoned dwarf mines and try to eat the heroes of the Lord of the Rings movies, like wee little Frodo Baggins the hobbit.I'd have to say that the Balrog is worth... eh, at least Gandalf the Grey Wizard's life, if the LotR movies have anything to say about it.That's a pretty high price, Tolkien!
What is the symbolic significance of the mines of Moria?
The Mines of Moria symbolize the descent to the dead, specifically Jesus' descent to the dead according to Christian beliefs. There are a great deal of similarities between Gandalf's journey in the mines and Jesus' death and resurrection. Gandalf stayed in the mines for three days, just like Jesus was dead for three days after his crucifixion. Gandalf also has to defeat a great evil, the Balrog (representative of original sin in Christian theology), in order to ascend from the dead and complete his task on earth. The analogy is not perfect since obviously the whole fellowship entered the mines and the fellowship as a whole does not symbolize anything related to Christianity, but when applied specifically to Gandalf the analogy works very well. Tolkien was actually a world renowned biblical scholar in his day, so reading his books can be a good intro to the Bible!
Why is Gandalf reluctant to go through the mines of Moria?
He knows that the dwarves there accidentally woke a Balrog, a great demon of shadow and flame. The beast is still there.
