But if this is for some sort of upper level course you're usually expected to contribute something that, if it's not original, at least makes the prof think. It's a lot harder to find paper topics that sizzle.
And finally (especially if this is one of the latter papers), do you know how accepting/hostile the person who's grading it is to the inclusion of LotR as a work of great literature? That ought to affect your topic as well.

We read LotR for the class, and it's one of the professor's favorite books, sooo I think it will be ok.
I do need to come up with a good, original topic that really matters, not only because it's a 400-level class, but also in order to keep
me interested while I'm working on it.
