No really! How in the world can someone be persuaded to desire mercy for a stinking, skulking, thieving, traitorous, backstabbing, baby-eating monster Gollum? It's a mystery to me. But Tolkien has Bilbo, Aragorn, Gandalf, Sam, and Faramir all demonstrate that. Astonishing! /5

The Lord of the Rings is so influential and so compelling that most people can't imagine that fantasy existed before its publication, much less what it could have been like. In spite of that profound popularity, Tolkien's magnum opus is thoroughly steeped in Christian themes. /2

“George Lucas explained that he meant [Ben Kenobi] to have some slight connotation of Gandalf in the Tolkien tales. ‘Ah yes,’ Sir Alec [Guinness] thought. ‘Yes, I can do something like that, a quiet character, not too magical or strange, but sympathetic.’”

The trees that grew there after the burning were black and grim, and their roots tangled, groping in the dark like claws; and those who strayed among them became lost and blind, and were strangled or pursued to madness by phantoms of terror.

—Tolkien, born 1892
