Dear me all, we are cutting poor "little_bit_old" down, aren't we? I know that Tolkien disliked allegory, and I'm not saying that this is allegory, because it isn't. However, the beauty in Tolkien's work is that everyone can find meaning in it, weather it be relating the struggles of the characters to your own personal struggles, or to something political as this person chose to do. That is a really interesting parallel, though it was definitely not intended it works very well. Tolkien's writing is said to be applicable because everyone relates to it at some level, and thats the most important thing.
