so it might make sence that Tolkien also wrote alegories.
Yet once again, let me quote Professor Tolkien on this subject.
Quote:
It (Lord of the Rings) is not 'about' anything but itself. Certainly it has no allegorical intentions, general, particular, or topical, moral, religious, or political.
- From a letter to the Houghton Mifflin Company, June 30, 1955
