Silmaril

(deep breathe) Will not get mad, will not get mad, will be understanding...

ok, I'm completly lost as to how you can
think that that LotR is prowar. The whole book is about trying to end war. When you have evil, something has to be done.
and as for people trying to find allagory and such in a book were it's not supposed to be, it can be looked at a million different ways.
The ocrs could easily be looked on as demon, elves as angels. I mean, in the book, never once can I remember an elf doing something bad, or an orc doing something good. ( In the silmarillion, i guess elves made mistakes, but that can be looked on as an allegory, too)
I don't know why people insist that there's allegory the author claims theres not.

well, my rambling is done.........
