Double Flee A

remember to look into later

I was just thinking about the obvious racial references in Lord of the rings.

The dwarf guys who are short and ugly and live in the cave but they got too greedy for the jewels so they woke up Balrog? It doesn't take a genius to figure out who that's supposed to be. The blond haired graceful elf dudes, Scandinavian? The humans, obvious rock and roll Jesus crusader types. The hobbits, I don't know what they are. The morlocks or whatever the bad guys are?

I sense there have been a few papers written on the subject, and I want to read one.
