      I find that by and large there are people who understand the reason Tom Bombadil is in the book and people who can’t stand him.

      i don't understand the reason Tom Bombadil is in the book but it feels like the same reason Santa Claus is in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and as a result i can't stand him

      (And no, it is not the same reason. The reason Father Christmas is in TLTWATW *is* a stupid reason.)

      No one can be told why Tom Bombadil is in the book: you have to see it for yourself.

      But Father Christmas is in TLTWATW to show that our worlds share myths and hint hint, Aslan is Jesus. Sooooooometimes Clive was a little heavy-handed with the metaphors, shocking as that may be.

      well, i mean, Tom Bombadil is obviously Eru Ilúvatar, aka God nothing about the situation has yet revealed to me why God needs to show up though

          Wrong. I see this allegation a lot and it absolutely baffles me. Tolkien would have viewed God acting like Bombadil as sacrilegious.

          Bombadil does not *need* to be in the book for plot reasons. Merry could have gotten his barrow-sword some other way, or gotten some other magic sword. It’s a super cool story hook that he has a sword made by the Witch-King's mortal enemies, but whatever.

          Bombadil is in the book to show the Hobbits, and the reader by extension, two things. First, that power without responsibility for others is ultimately meaningless. The one person who can safely hold the Ring can’t be trusted with it because he is not responsible enough.

          Yes, it’s a Spider-Man gambit. But that’s the lesser of the two reasons. The other one is far more important.

          Frodo meets basically what is left of the Gods in Middle-Earth. Demi-Gods, at least. Gandalf the Maia. Galadriel the Light-Elf. Elrond, son of Eärendil the Blessed. Aragorn, heir of Númenor and descendent of Lúthien. They are all powerless before the evil of the One Ring.

          But this funny little old man can disregard it entirely. It has no power over him whatsoever. Standing before him in a bright blue coat and yellow boots is proof that the Ring is NOT all-powerful. That there are other powers in this world than Sauron and darkness.

          He needs to see that. He needs to know it. It may not come up a lot specifically, but under it all, until his own fall into darkness, he has that to hang on to. Sauron is mighty, but he is NOT the God of this world, and his works have limits.

          okay. i basically considered that and discarded it because it's almost exactly the same narrative function the Shire fulfills. maybe it's important that there be things that are not-home but still homey, idk
