I don't think Tolkien even realized that it could be allegory. Plus, you can take almost everything and turn it in some way into allegory. Tolkien very much disliked allegory, ehich is one reason he disliked one of his best friends works, C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia.
That sounds interesting. I've read CS Lewis' Narnia books but never noticed any allegorys. Call me stupid for not noticing, but can anyone tell me about them? I know this is a little off track, but I'm intrigued as to what they are.
