LOTR-A spiritual allegory? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't know if all these posts were comments on my post somewhere in this thread as well. I know that Tolkien didn't intend the book to be an allegory or contain any. But this does not stop people from seeing any allegories in his works. That's why I gave the examples above, to show allegories that people saw in the books.

I personally don't see allegories in LotR or any other work by Tolkien concerning Middle Earth.
