I would have to indefinately agree with you Naaramare. If you even look closer, you might be able to see connections between what Tolkien used to develop his ideas and what was readily avaliable to him. There should be no surprise if you feel like you are reading a greek tradgy or see connections between a hero in Celtic myth and let us say a character in the Silmarillion.
Has anything thought of looking at Beowulf and then compare to what has been written by Tolkien? What can you see in connections or inspirations? Forgive me if this has been asked in previous thread. After the 16th page, the memory begins to fade. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
