"One Ring To Rule Them All..."
This cartoon is a play off The Lord of the Rings. It shows Gandalf, who represents literature, with a ring through his nose, which represents Hollywood. Because the ring is looped through the nose it shows control over. Often Hollywood movies are all we see of certain literature, Hollywood filters it and changes it how it however IT wants to. Therefore really what is controlled is our perception and understanding of literature. To a extent I agree with this, many of us do watch the movie instead of reading the book.
I think that this is true in some cases, and this cartoon points that out in a mildly humorous and satirical way. Good argument with it.
