Maybe it was my reading, but I also found that Melkor corresponds to Lucifer in many respects? I found that the whole the earlier chapters of the Silmarillion were quite similar to Milton's Paradise Lost. Obviously, I am not discounting the Finnish/norse influences which are obviously prevalent over the whole work, but on the other hand Tolkien fused it in a curiously appealing way with a plot which at time reads like the old testament...

Yes, Martin Shaw's recitations are moving. But, for a real thrill, get the CD of Christopher Tolkien reciting the tale of Beren and Luthien! You will be emotionally overpowered.

@Ichinisandaaan despite many disagreements i find most of Tolkien's work relates to the bible in many different cultures. so yes, your guess is quite possible. though allot of his works were based on things he learned through out life. I suggest reading his biography, it shows allot more then many suspect behind Tolkien's writings.

@florinu123 to some people it sounds crazy but its not to me.

@lotrhpnmask

JRR was a philologist. His works contain universal truths that have followed humankind through time. It's not really that odd or crazy.

[blkluster1986]

I have read this book countless times I have also almost finished reading all of Tolkien's works he is an amazing author better yet Creator of Middle earth

@lotrhpnmask

you're not far from the truth. Tolkien did made it clear that the Silmarilion would be in the form of scripture.

@Ichinisandaaan the old kingdoms

[knightace2002]

@Ichinisandaaan u saw it too? although tolkien disliked allegory so much some parts were taken from his personal experienced in WWI and in hius love life with the story of Beren and Luthien the elf maid and the story of the fall of gondolin reminded me of the fall of Atlantis as well rlly captures history and all that pretty well and languages made into thier own i've actually sought iuntrest in learning celtic bc of it's influance in the elvish lage also finnish and the old languages of

[902092]

im sure many influences are brought into the creation of this story Tolkien's personal beliefs and things of that nature

[willisan]

@Ichinisandaaan It most certainly does. One would have to try with much effort to not see the correlation between the two. I cherish Tolkien's ability to tell a (seemingly) old story in such a fresh way.
