Wow, the way Tolkien creates his world is so fascinating. He actually creates his world of creatures based on what the dreams and ideals of our world are. Like, for example, men are imperfect, making wrong choices.
Other creatures kind of represent other parts of people, the way people wish to be. Like the elves, maybe, are kind of like what a human wishes to be. The only thing I'm stuck on is, why are there evil elves if this is so?
