    I agree.

    But that would be everything written, and also when put in situations very moderately reminiscing such, I had associations with LOTR from my childhood where I didn’t have any such experience. Tolkien says literally many thoughts people have when encountering horrors.

      That’s what makes a good writer and story.

      I cannot argue one way or the other if you’re going to simply take the faintest references and call everything the same.
