I saw a program about Tokien a while ago, and I don't remember much about it. All I remember is one point everyone (Tolkien, his kids, everyone else) semed very anxious to make: the Lord of the Rings does not have allegory init. However, Tolkien my have unconsiously mixed some in. I don't think anything that "deep down" though. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
