found this interesting link about tolkien’s stories (and thus, to a degree, about tolkien himself), in which it is proposed that sauron represents progress and the alliance of men and elves represents a most conservative and backwards looking view of the world. things were only good in the past, and things are always in decline. despite one of the themes that there is always hope, the view that everything is regardless in decline is not the most optimistic. here is the article by david brin.
