Concerning Ents... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I am re-reading The Two Towers and have some musings and questions about Ents. (I am on the Treebeard chapter) Am I correct in understanding that Treebeard is, himself, not a tree per se, but a man in the form that resembles a tree?? If he were to become "sleepy and treelike" then he will truly become a tree? (I can't wait to see him in the movie!)

Also, on a slightly related topic-- could it be possible Tom Bombadil is an Ent as well? I know the debate has raged, and I am sorry if this has been said before, but I am curious. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
