Father like Son
Any one Notice that Bilbo and Frodo, Share a remarkable similarity with JRR Tolkien and Cristopher Tolkien.
Bilbo was unable to finish there and back again becouse of his age, as was Tolkien was unable to finishe the Silmarillion and many of his other stories becouse of his age, i dont know if the Four of them are meant to be related but i like to think that there is a lttle Tolkien in all his characters. Perhaps he wanted it to signify his relation ship with his son, i dont know if Tolien had any other sons, but i know he sometimes viewed his Stories as a burddon becouse of people constantly demanding maps, timelines, lineage, and other info from him, and JRR Tolkien knew he would not be able to finish his stories therefor passing the Gift and the burddon to his son Cristopher, as did Bilbo with Frodo passing to him There and Back again (the gift) and The ring of power (the burddon). i think its something to have an interesting Conversation about. i was also randering If Cristopher Tolkien has written any other books on his own?
