Fingo - wow, you're good at spotting this stuff. For some reason the idea of Gandalf the White as representing the Resurrection never even occurred to me, but it's great. (Of course I read the Narnia books several times as a child and it never occurred to me what they were an allegory for either, and this from someone who was taken to a two-hour Mass every Sunday without fail. Which probably just goes to show that allegorists are born, not bred [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]).
