Eowin kills Witch-King: Allegory? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think it is a bit of a stretch to say that Eowyn symbolized an activist. If anything Sauron could have symbolized Hitler, and Eowyn the Jews who were so mistreated during WWII.

I don't really think this is the case either, but it is an example of how we can see our own political views in a wonderful story.
