  1. like JK Rowling.  Tolkien wrote these stories about Middle Earth as stories for his kids.  Sure sure, he put a lot of work into it and thought it out for years before writting it all down.  But what is written down IS what is written down.  If you accept anyone's word about Tolkienism without it being Tolkin then you are a blasphemer!  Heh, sorry I had to say it.

    The stories were written something close to 50 years ago, and none of Tolkien's sons have any desire to expand it further.  It took the Tolkein estate 50 years to find the technology to produce the movies as they were written.

    There was a provision in Mr. Tolkein's will stating that all the proceeds from his writtings were to be put aside until a suitable script and tech were about to make the movie worth wild, instead of a 1950's B movie.  Thank you Peter Jackson for picking up the slack in this project.


  2. The only part I can answer right now without doing some additional research both for answers, and to figure out where your questions are in that wall-o-text, is the one about an adam-figure. There is none. The Lord of the Rings was not meant to be a religious allegory at all, unlike the Chronicles of Narnia. Eru made *many* humans, male and female, all at the same time, just as there were many many elves who awoke all at the same time.
