I found quite selfish to keep such interviews for myslef, knowing how large is the Tolkien fan community.

@Gernam12 I thought it was pretty interesting how Tolkien drew a firm line between allegory and applicability. It was also pretty interesting that In the same FOTR introduction, he goes on to give a surprisingly VERY sardonic synopsis of the story if he had actually written it as allegory for WW2; quite reflective of his themes concerning mankind's lust for power.

@GreeenBaron Yes, that's where I was trying to get at, thank you for correcting me.

@Gernam12 Not exactly. From the introduction in Fellowship: "I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history, true or feigned, with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers. I think that many confuse 'applicability' with 'allegory'; but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the purposed domination of the author."

When people believe in in benevolent dictatorship, like they do today, they naturally think that danger can only come from in a WMD.
