Re: Parallels between LOTR and WWII
All throughout history and in many great stories, there are a few things that are common. The good guys, the bad guys, the victims of the bad guys and whatever it is they're fighting over-ranging from the control of the world to nuclear technology. As was made clear by the above letter, Tolkien did not attempt an allegory. But those few factors remain the same, thus likening it to World War II.
Not all those who wander are lost.</p>Edited by: <A HREF=http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile&u=00000038>the Lorien wanderer</A> at: 1/31/01 10:51:42 pm
