| Apr 29, 2014 at 5:09 | comment | added | Avner Shahar-Kashtan | I don't think Dale and other places should be compared to the Sharkey-era Shire. The Shire there is presented as an industrial society with all the social ills of industrialized England, mainly as a contrast to the relative pre-industrialized idyllic rest-of-the-world. I think there are no counterparts in western Midfle Earth. | |
