The WWII metaphor is a stupid interpretation. You don't need to go trawling through Christopher's edits of JRR's notes to drop a bomb on it. You just need a High School level of understanding about WWII, and Lord of the Rings itself. Death of the Author doesn't justify Missing the Fucking Point Printed on the Page, which is what the WWII metaphor demands.

Oh, okay. I thought a first you were disagreeing with me and I couldn't figure out what you were saying.

You don't even need to trawl through HoME to find it, it's right in the preface of FotR, where JRR's most famous piece of "This is not a WW2 metaphor!" goes on to say that if it had bee, Saruman would have invented a One Ring of his own and Hobbits would have been universally reviled and exterminated.

I think it's a crappy interpretation even without the preface.
