  1. You align Aragon to Celtic mythology, based on the similarities to King Arthur, and this is certainly what Tolkien would have thought. However, he may have accidentally drew these theme's from Alanic indo-iranian mythology, if you follow the arguments of From Scythia to Camelot, which I think is an interesting consideration as the Alan's would themselves be culturally very similar to the Rohan, and a people destroyed by the westward expansion of the East

  2. I think the pains Bilbo and Frodo experience that you compare to PTSD are equally strong descriptions of being a recovered addict.
