The Chicken - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Ah, I see. This is one of the few real debates about the finer points of this great work of literature. I am sorry for being so hasty in judging the level of literacy of this topic.

If Tolkien was a chicken I have a theory on his plan. We already know that Tolkien hated publicity. He must have gotten so overwhelmed by his fans, he faked his death and transformed into a chicken, just like Beorn could. Perhaps Tolkien is Beorn. Maybe he came from Middle Earth. Maybe he wrote of his adventures in The Hobbit, but from Bilbo's perspecive, as not to give away his identity. Maybe he is a Maia? The answers to those questions Man may never know...
