Lush, I stand corrected, and agree with you completely! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I had intended to say "at least a superficial resemblance" and ended up sounding like I though it was only a superficial resemblance. Which I didn't, but wasn't completely convinced how deep it went. But now that I reflect for a moment on LOTR being written by a literary person in Britain, an uncanny parallel to a Shakespeare play can't have been coincidence! or it's coincidence in Tolkien's sense of not being accidental.
I hadn't read your thread before I posted (obviously). But the Fangorn-Birnam idea popped into by head spontaneously as soon as I heard LOTR and MacBeth in the same sentence. Congrats on having thought of it first. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
