Written with friends and relatives in mind, and intended to 'move' and 'delight' readers of The Hobbit (who had grown up in the meantime), The Lord of the Rings was also a tribute to Tolkien's companions who were killed during the First World War, especially his two very close friends Robert Gilson and Geoffrey Smith. I had heard this reson before and that is why I chose D an allegory, the closed I could come to this. After furtherserching I believe he never intended this message. I have never heard of it being a "Tolkien once wrote that he aimed "to restore to the English an epic tradition and present them with a mythology of their own." He felt England lacked its own body of myth and legend compared to other cultures." I figured England had enough mythology already. Apparently I'm wrong. I would like to know where the compiler found his answer.
