Tolkien. The trilogy of The Lord of the Rings is based in a struggle between good and evil‚ courage and friendship‚ not leaving the humanity behind.

    Essays‚ Not Rants! 173: But What Does It All Mean? When The Lord of The Rings was first published there was a lot of talk about its relation to the second World War. It got to the point that in the foreword to a later edition‚ Tolkien explicitly said that no‚ it was not in any way an allegory of World War Two.
