Re: who is tolkien in fact?

Well, seeing as Tolkien went to such great length in explaining that there were no allegories in his stories (I just read his letter in the beggining of the Sillmarillion) that Im sure he did not think of himself when he made his characters, other than the fact of what he thinks to be good and evil. But, after making his characters, he probably did think of himself as more like one than the rest, and it was a hobbit. I think of myself most like a hobbit too. <img src=smile.gif ALT=""> If everyone tried to act like a hobbit, the world would be alot better.
