Ah, I see -- the Lord of the Rings, right? Since I haven't read either
series I would be interested in the kinds of similarities that appear to
exist in both works.
Just for extra fun, in what ways does the Lord of the Rings lift from
Northern European mythology? I have heard that it does so quite
extensively. Does that feel like plagarism, or does it feel like an
appropriate mining of culturally relevant archetypes?
I am not exactly going to mount an argument in favor of plagarism, but I
will say that there is nothing new under the sun...especially not with 5
billion fairly creative creatures running around on earth at the present time.
