See here for further thoughts on parallels between LotR and Shakespeare's works:

What a useful link - and in Stereo. I am so glad to discover the true origin of the curse of the Scottish play. LOL

Oh, thank God someone answered it at last, I was getting worried there for a second. This thread is still open, I used the term "flatlined" due to the fact that no one really replied to it, what were your thoughts then? Please reply, this was my first ever thread and it completely bombed!!!

To bring another aspect of Macbeth into this, there is a line from it: "Fair is foul, and foul is fair." Remind anyone of Strider?
(Just a note: I have not read Macbeth yet and just came across the line, so I don't know what context it is used in or anything. Just thought it was interesting.) |

You know, I never actually thought of that.
There could be similarities between the "Foul is Fair" bit and what Tolkien ( the better writer by the way) wrote; "All that is gold does not glitter".
