UA, thank you....you are correct...


LOTR,
i may have misunderstood your post...i was wondering what the biblical message is and
if someone else had made the connection..

the motive for destroying the "one ring that rules them all" was to get rid of evil from middle earth...i do not believe the message was to destroy evil, an impossible task anyway.

the journey undertaken by frodo and co.involved a little bit more than will.....it was for the good of middle earth, altruisitic in a sense, but i think Tolkien's message was one of what people, together, can do to make a bad situation, better.

thanks
