POLL: LotR, Tolkien and You - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

1. Good and Evil. Tought choice here, but that seemed to be the general theme to me, good vs. evil.

2. Power of the Small and Weak. It seemed to me that the mere hobbits being the saviors of Middle-Earth was an important part of the story.

3. No, can't think of any.

4. Nostalgic. The world isn't like that anymore, with brave heroes like in Gondor, and the kind of social interaction in the Shire.

5. Through Allegory. Almost everything in LOTR is symbolic, in my opinion.

6. C and D were the only ones that moved me. The discussions on the endless and untold stories really made me think.

7. B and E. LOTR was generally enjoyable for me, as far as the plot went. There also seemed to be deeper meaning it.

8. Thirteen, my age now.

9. Yes, definitely. I am growing more fond of it all the time. You are always realizing something new about Tolkien's world.
