Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe

[pjalne]

Still, its function as myth, even as manufactured myth, is to be transferrable to our own situation. When you place the structure of a war over the narrative in LotR, you're giving meaning to what actually has no narrative purpose, and it helps you relate to it. One of the primary purposes of myth, movies, litterature and other cultural items is to depict conflict and resolution universally, so you can use it to make choices in your everyday life. So while Tolkien had no plan to make this an allegory on the war, it still works as a way to relate to what happened, if only subjectively.

Oh my god, I sound like a cunt when I'm discussing this shit. This has got to stop.
