Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By birdbarian: Tolkien was a WWI vet who I believe fought at the Somme, so I presume they were Huns. Tolkien said they were neither, most people assumed that LOTR was in some sense based on WW2, and Tolkien himself said it was not, that if anything it would more likely be WW1 as that's the war he fought in and had so many friends die in. But he insisted it was based on neither. |

I can't imagine surviving trench warfare especially the Somme, and that not influencing everything afterwards, especially when writing about battles and enemies. The enemies weren't humans, for the most part, and we know dehumanizing the enemy is one technique to get people to kill each other. Huns, Nips, Dinks, Nazis, Orcs... |

I forget if it's in the book "Tolkien and the Great War" or not, but he said "we were all orcs" discussing those who were in the trenches. It was a condition of being, of industrialized warfare. And LOTR was both not WW1 or WW2 and as a myth, doea still contain elements of both without being a metaphor for them. IIRC LOTR was supposed to be an English/British Isles mythos as so much of their pagan ancestry had been erased by the Saxons and Normans and every other invasion. It was to fill a gap left when the druids departed. Memes.

Makes more sense they’re trying to make them sympathetic these days Tolkien was a WWI vet who I believe fought at the Somme, so I presume they were Huns. Maybe he ran across Hitler and had a premonition. |
