Re: Hmm

Well, if we're going to go into LotR=WW2 speculation...

Gandalf = Churchill, perhaps?
Hobbits = Either the Jews or any group of pacifists.

Hmm. I can't seem to find many paralells. At least, not any that get past the level of vague similarity. (Probably because any resemblance to WW2 would be entirely unintentional...)
