The funny thing is that Tolkien hated allegories and denied that LotR was ever a social commentary, but people have constantly tried to fit the story to World War I and other major events in Earth's history. Why can't people be happy with a story as a story, instead of always trying to find deeper meaning or hidden symbology in them?
