Sting Tolkien- For the Love of Eowyn!

I just finished reading the LOTR trilogy for the third (and most delightful) time. And suddenly, as I was reading, I was struck by how incredibly unfounded peoples' accusations are concerning...

Good comments, but I also believe that this was a really significant thing for Gimli, because he really isn't too fond of elves before his visit to the Lady. It's really after this that his bond...

Sting Tolkien and modern fantasy

I was wondering what your (gestures vaguely at computer screen) opinion is about modern fantasy. Has Tolkien "ruined" all of the books for you because it's just so good? It seems to me like all...

hmmm.... this set me to wondering.... did Tolkien even work out much of the history after the war of the ring? It seems to me that he meant his histories to be more about the golden days of middle...

Tolkien stressed in his books things like forgiveness (GOLLUM) and friendship/loyalty (SAM). The problems that the characters face can be related to almost any problem that people face in...

Dear me all, we are cutting poor "little_bit_old" down, aren't we? I know that Tolkien disliked allegory, and I'm not saying that this is allegory, because it isn't. However, the beauty in...

Once or twice I tried to garden, but it didn't work out. I forgot about it and the plants died, or the plants died so I forgot about it. That sort of thing is so tedious, and I much prefer to pick...

I feel that your comparison of men to orcs and dragons and balrogs is quite unfair. Men were not born evil, it is just the nature of the race to turn towards evil occasionally. All of the races go...

I think of it not as sin, but as what was bound to be. When Eru created the gods who would shape Arda, he left Melkor in for a purpose. All of the other gods were perfect and good. They would use...

It seems to me that Gollum/Smeagol had a weaker soul than most. And he started as a hobbit-like creature, while Bilbo, Sam, and Frodo held up quite well against the ring's power (but for Frodo at...
