Well, it is possible to read all sorts of stuff into LOTR

Tolkien was moved from queit Africa to busy, poluted London or something. Is that why "technologie" is made by Saruman who is a BAD character? Or maybe it is because he was in the war and technologie killed all kinds of people.

Tolkien was a church-goer, maybe LOTR is an allegory of the bible or a biblical story?

That's all that I can think of for now.
