You are most free to beg and differ, and do both at 100%. I'll find Pullman and his cheap works loathsome, regardless.


davem,
Again, Tolkien depicts love in the Rings and in the Silmarillion. However, he doesn't get bogged down describing, as Shakespeare called it, "the beast with two backs". Nor is there any need. Nor, most importantly, would it fit the style of writing he used which was reflective of ancient epics.

So, why contrive this odd requirement for him to describe war in bloody detail? Just curious, but why is it so important to you?
