Oddwen, I think your theory is better than my crazy hobbit theory However, in light of this thread, I would like to propose a new, overarching theory, which is that "Into the West" is thoroughly post-modern: i.e. it has no inherent meaning and can be about whatever you want. <P>This theory is backed up by the crazy lines which make no sense - they're <I>designed</I> to mean nothing!
