Discussion questions on works of literature which fall under the genre Fool's Literature

Hi Reddit, I’ve made some discussion questions about the following works of literature: "The Ship of Fools" by Sebastien Brant, "In Praise of Folly" by Desiderius Erasmus, and "The Fellowship of the Ring" by J.R.R. Tolkien. These works of literature all loosely fall under the genre Fool's Literature. The questions are based around Bloom's Taxonomy and should foster some interesting discussion, they are posted below in italics.

The Ship of Fools – (Analysis Level)

Sebastian Brant’s The Ship of Fools critiques various social and moral failings through the metaphor of a doomed voyage. Considering that the book was published on the eve of the Reformation, to what extent can Brant’s satire be seen as a call for religious and social reform rather than just a condemnation of human folly? Would his critique be just as relevant in today’s society, and if so, in what ways?

In Praise of Folly – (Evaluation Level, Cross-Cultural Connection)

Erasmus’ In Praise of Folly exposes hypocrisy in the Catholic Church and society at large, using humor to encourage reform. Compare Erasmus’ use of satire to that of Japanese Kyōgen theater, which also uses comedic exaggeration to critique human behavior. In what ways do these cultural traditions use humor to challenge authority, and which is more effective in bringing about societal change?

The Fellowship of the Ring – (Creating Level)

The Fellowship of the Ring presents the idea that power, no matter how well-intentioned, ultimately corrupts. Given the events of the novel, construct an argument for or against the idea that Frodo should have willingly given the Ring to a powerful leader, such as Gandalf or Aragorn, rather than attempting to destroy it. Would Middle-earth have fared better under a controlled use of the Ring, or was absolute destruction the only viable path?

I know this is a very odd thing to post (and hopefully it doesn't get deleted) but if you would like to discuss some of these questions in the comments, I think it will bring about some interesting conversations.

Thanks!
