Sharon,

If you have Letters near to hand (I don't) refer to his review of that movie script. The movie script writer refers to Galadriel as a queen. Tolkien goes ballistic. He hated the whole movie script. Maybe he was just in a fine temper by then. They also talk about a Cinderella-type castle in Lorien, too, and he goes really ballistic over that; maybe that was what set him off and he was already in flaming-balrog-form by the "queen" comment.

But I wouldn't call her a queen after reading that scathing, scorching, singed-all-around-the-edges letter. No, sir. Not me. Lady Galadriel it is, Professor, sir.
