I'm lousy at closed-book trivia tests, but I got all of these except Eglath and
the sons of Feanor (I can think of two out of seven). Now I will at least
remember Eglath better than
before.
“I dislike Allegory - the conscious and intentional allegory - yet any attempt to explain the purport of myth or fairytale must use allegorical language. (And, of course, the more 'life' a story has the more readily will it be susceptible of allegorical interpretations: while the better a deliberate allegory is made the more nearly will it be acceptable just as a story.)” (From Tolkien Letter # 131.)
