well, everybody, since we ventured on "Mr Freud's" territory here, I have to state an impression of mine, with the risk of you considering it flippant:
I haven't thought of it before until I saw the movie and, specifically, Frodo's struggle to resist *putting his finger in the hole of the ring* (when the Ringwraiths first come after him). The 'sexual meaning' of it hit me in the face, even though, by God, I know for sure it is not what Tolkien intended. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
