one thing i thought was very interesting were the many themes of LOTR. I had to do a really big paper on the books once, and it was fasinating all the points Tolkien was trying to get across in his work. Would you all like to tell some themes that you noticed?
One that was not so apparent was the theme of man to nature, and the realationships therein. You see how Tom Bombadil is so close to nature, he has power to affect it.
