Well sure you can interpret however you want. As long as you don't assume that you're right.

But that's an arguement for the non-existant "What literary theory should be used in studying Tolkien's work?" thread. Mwahahaha.
That's another comment I have: Fordim, you realize that all of our answers, besides having different concepts of "God" behind them, will be coming from people who side very strongly with certain critical theories, whether they know it or not? It's already been nudged at on this thread: the way people believe that literature should be interpreted is going to have a big effect on whether or not they think that ME's god is "our" God.
