Some time a horse is just a fricking horse, like.

Your mom is an allegory for taking horse wiener
>If The Ring is an allegory for nuclear bombs

my wiener or penis
>If The Ring is an allegory for nuclear bombs in the LOTR
It's not though you fricking idiot. Tolkien was anti-allegory.
>it's not because I say so.
Sorry but you have to analyze films better in order to fully understand them.
allegory requires intent on the part of the author, tolkein did not write allegorical books
That quote is fake. Tolkien’s letters explicitly stated that LOTR is an allegory for World War 2.
Your perception of reality is fake. Schizo moron.
No. Tolkien,like every man of his generation, was shaped by his experiences during world war ONE

Imagine thinking there's no allegories in Lord of the Rings.
>the hobbit written in 1937
>it's an allegory for nuclear weapons
Well Tolkien saw the Atom bomb drop before he published Lord of the Rings and in the Hobbit the ring was just magic ring that turned you invisible. It wasn't anything special.
The ring in the first edition of The Hobbit wasn't the One Ring, it was just a magical doodad. The ring Bilbo found being the One Ring is historical revisionism.
>it is because I say so
Sorry but you should learn how to read the books.
it's right in the foreword of FotR, lol
>Tolkien was anti-allegory.
Then why did he say LOTR was an explicitly Catholic work?
he said it was subconsciously written to be catholic. He didn't intend for it to be like that, it just was because of his upbringing.
He said he intended it in the rewrite. Regardless, though, given that it does not contain Jesus or popes or anything, what makes it Catholic? The allegorical content.
it's just a story.
who frickin cares Black person
post your warface during this scene
tolkien might have said he doesnt like allegories but maybe he was just embarrassed that his books are filled with them
maybe tolkien didn't write them at all, and everyone's just gaslighting you into believing books are real
Grond pepper
Tolkien has a lot of clear bias towards the way things were pre-WW1, where horses were still a relatively common mode of transport especially in the country side, and against more advanced technology, mass production, or militarism.
So the horses are horses, but its the simple horsemen who are clearly right out of old English poetry defeating the Orcs who aren't any specific group, but kind of a stand in for a corporate industrialized military.
tolkien was one of those guys who was probably thriller to go to ww1 because he read too many of those glorious adventure stories about ye olde days where men rode into battle on horses. he never really got over that whole vision of war
>Be Tolkien
>hate allegory whenever you detect it
>people insist your work is allegorical
haha he would have an hero'd if he lived longer.
