Please help.

Hey, sorry for the lack of an introduction in the newcomers post(and my mistake in posting this under movies before..), but when I clicked on the sticky I just ended up staring at a white screen...so I figured it may work out better to introduce myself here along with my questions which from what I can tell this community is best suited to handle. Anyway, for my introduction.

Hey, my actual name is Tom...I'm a college student, International Relations Major/ Poli. Sci. minor, I've read the LotR trilogy more times than I can count (and yet I'm going to hit you with a question about it...figure that out) along with the Hobbit and parts of the Silmarillion (although I found it hard to keep myself reading that one sad to say). I fence (swordplay is fun), I work on my car ('95 firebird with a little 3.4 v6...going to be a v8 once some cash comes to me), cause all kinds of ridiculous trouble with my friends, but more than anything I just consider myself your average nice-guy college student. I hope my introduction was fitting, I have no idea really what you usually post for introductions, since like I said the sticky didn't load for me...but anyway on to my question...

If it seems in bad taste to pose one of my questions for an assignment of mine here, I apologize in advance, but... For a small presentation of mine I'm supposed to speak about the warrior code in connection to epic literature...We've covered The Iliad, and The Mahabharata/The Bhagavad-Gita (the latter was the second worst thing I've ever had to read...only Mein Kampf was worse) and as my third epic tale I chose the Lord of the Rings ...however I'm having trouble relating the warrior code present in LotR to The Iliad and The Bharata...if anyone could point me in the direction of passages which really highlight Tollkien's ideal warrior and the code he lives by I would appreciate it greatly, thank you in advance. I look forward to speaking with you all in the future.
