Imagine that you're going on a road-trip with friends. Super-fun time, you're gonna get wasted, pick up girls, smoke lots of dope, etc.

It's the big day! You get into the car and drive onto the highway. And you're having the time of your life!

Then you barf all over the back of the driver's seat and he flips out and crashes the car and you all die.

That's what it's like to read Chapter 7 of LOTR.

Tom Bombadil, eh? Here's a song named after him.

Tom Bombadil could easily kill Sauron and save the world in one blow (Gandalf mentioned he didnt because it had nothing to do with him). Remember he put on the ring and nothing happened to him? Supposedly he is God.

Tom Bombadil is you, the reader. That is why the ring has no power over him. That is why he could bitch slap anything in the world.

When I was like 14, I picked up LOTR to read.

I never made it past Bombadil and I remember hurling my copy of Fellowship at the wall in a violent rage. To this day I haven't finished it.

>> No.980504

I don't even remember what he did, but wasn't it important to the Hobbits?

Bombadil is America if we interpret the story as a symbolic representation of the beginning of WW2.

He is Switzerland if we interpret the story as a war of the races.
