Tom Bombadil vs. The Ring - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't think anything is beyond teh definitions of good and evil. I've said earlier that Tom has to be stronger than a mair and weaker then Illuvatar. Therefore, he is either a Valar or something Tolkein never "encountered". I would like to believe that he is Aule, but this answer seems too easy for me to accept.
