Durelin im not sure how reliable this info is, i heard it on the extra comentary included on the extended DVD, but they said Tolkien's intention, was 1 to stay away from allegorical stories, allowing one to develope a poersonal bond with LOTR---what i mean by this---- Tolkien removed all allegories from his sories so you couldnt easily compare it with ANY other stories, but you could make thousands of other associations with actual events in ones life. (What does this have to do with Chess and England?????---ill tell you )

2. Tolkiens other intention was to develope a mythology for England seeing it hadnt any, and the little of Mythology England had, was actualy composed of other cultures myths such as "King Arthur" which actualy has a french origin. by removing all allegories from his stories he was able to create a mythology that was original as well as sounding just as believable as any other mythology.

and as i said last time, i could be wrong.
