Why does this story move so many people so?

Sorry to bother you, as I'm newly deceased this month and still a little lost in the that big world like Frodo was in the hall of Fire in Elrond's House.

Surfing, lurking I should say,in some Lotr's discussions, forums etc... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] héhéhé
I've realized the universal attraction of The lord of the ring all over countries in the world.

I remember someone asking judiciously:
"Why does this story move so many people so?"

Yes, I'm still haunted ( and thinking of it)by this question since and wanted to submitt it to you.

I would be glad to hear your opinions about it.
