Would Classical Et Cetera Resist the Power of the One Ring?
What does The Lord of the Rings teach us about self-denial? In this episode of Classical Et Cetera, the team explores the virtue of temperance—what it is, why it matters, and how it's portrayed in literature. From Frodo’s resistance to the Ring to Peter Rabbit’s disobedience and Lassie’s heart-wrenching goodbye, we unpack how stories shape our understanding of restraint. Drawing from classical and Christian thought, we examine how temperance forms character and helps us live rightly ordered lives.
