To: CHRISTIAN DIARIST

Whether you understand it or not The Hobbit is Christian allegory (as is true of all of Tolkien’s work much like Lewis and The Chronicles of Narnia). I much prefer the book to the ridiculous musical that Broadway cobbled together for Les Miserables. The musical still spends too much time glorifying the French Revolution which in its very nature was communist and driven by class warfare.

Django Unchained....bleeech why bother

Tolkien specifically rejected the idea that his works were allegory, stating he hated allegory in all its forms.
