Responding to Culture Wars on Tolkien


Tolkien got the main symbols in The Hobbit from Richard Wagner’s Ring cycle,*


Like?

Obviously, omitting things that Wagner had in common with Norse sources that Tolkien could read directly without Wagner (and the actual Wagner fan CSL in addition to Wagner).

Dragon, hoard, dwarf, talking bird, do not count. These are all in the Norse sources as well.
