Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - Tolkien and his Characters

[LadyBrooke]

Indeed, as it is also a personal matter for me, as I explained in my PM to you, I think I'm going to wait until I've had the chance to think and perhaps review my pyschology textbook before I comment indepth. I simply felt that this discussion is far too valuable to remain buried in the Fantasy thread forever.

The only thing I'm going to say is that sometimes I think that readers become so involved in a story that we forget that the author was a mere human like us, and therefore had his own feelings that deserve respect.
