Re-outis Yes, I got that but I was just saying he didn’t stay in the wilderness, he went to Valinor, The blessed realm. In my humble opinion… Heaven. So to speak.  You do seem qualified to analyze LOTR! Yes, as I'm sure you know, Valinor IS Heaven, and Tolkien based his mythology on Roman Catholic ideas. Morgoth in The Silmarillion is Lucifer, or Satan, and Sauron was his second-in-command who became the Satan of a later age. The Valar are archangels, the Maiar, such as Gandalf and Saruman are lesser angels. I'm sure you knew all that... Valinor is like the Garden of Eden, especially applied to Bilbo and Frodo who are hobbits and love gardens where they feel at home. Valinor was originally on Arda (earth) in the first ages and guarded by angels (just like the garden of Eden). But after the great battle with Morgoth (satan), it was hidden inside an unseen or spiritual realm. The changed forms of Morgoth and Sauron are illustrative of their characters. Satan begins an angel of light, and is of such esteem he can walk in heaven and accuse men, then eventually satan is cast out with other angels. He grows in influence from a worm into a dragon. Good God, you're better than me on my favorite book! Kudos! That is high praise, thank you. My favorite Tolkien quote is from The Children of Hurin (page 42), "A man who flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a short cut to meet it." Tolkien's maps are also filled with meaning.
