[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^I must say that Arwa is correct about certain Christian themes in the trilogy. Of course Tolkien used mainly pagan myth especially that of Germanic myth in the story, he did throw in some Christian elements. Also, are you aware that the Christian author and famous writer of the Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis was also a good friend of Tolkien and they exchanged alot of ideas? But Rasol is still correct about associating demonizing the 'East' and 'South'. What I should point out though is the irony or paradox began after the 'West' adopted Christianity that they began associating Christ with themselves and demonizing peoples of the Near-East. Hence Jesus was no longer a Semite but was given 'Aryan' status while Jews and other Semites including Arabs are denigrated! But speaking of LOTR mythos, did you know that Tolkien based the Elvish language off of ancient Finnish which is almost extinct and is now spoken by old Finnish shamans? [/QB][/QUOTE]
