As scribed by thor Reynolds Price, at least one member of Tolkien’s iend group, the Inklgs, “separated om his wife and lived a quietly homosexual life. She beme an in the gay male muny for wrg sympathetilly about same-sex relatnships ancient Greece.

‘LORD OF THE RGS’ ACTOR VIGGO MORTENSEN FENDS CISN TO PLAY GAY ROLE
“Homosexualy the First World War. THE LORD OF THE RINGS giv a signifint purpose and meang to endurg male-male partnerships that many more overtly gay narrativ do not. The homoerotic aspects of this motif of male partnership are strikgly evint Tolkien’s novel, which Sam is portrayed as much more than jt a close iend to Frodo.
While ’s te that Tolkien had a wife and raised a fay, extremely close male iendships were the primary foc of his social life, and ’s clear om his poignant pictns of male pannship that somethg eply homoerotic if not homosexual stirred his soul, somethg that was perhaps both aroed and cshed the trench of World War I. This same-sex nfiguratn of self-actualizatn echo closely the dividuatn procs for gay men scribed by gay-centered psychologist Mch Walker, who has brought a much-need homosexual perspective to Jungian psychology and elucidated the signifince of “a special, erotic, tw ‘brother’ who is felt to be the ‘source of spiratn’” a gay man’s psyche.
Walker has termed this ner archetypal figure the “Double, ” who appears the unnsc ner world of all men, straight or gay, as the unrpng for ego inty and the source of “brotherly love.
HOW FRODO AND SAM WERE “MOSTLY GAY”
” Yet for gay men, Walker explas, this archetypal beg is erotilly charged and be the primary “soul figure, ” exactly the role that Sam plays for Frodo, as “a soul-mate of tense warmth and closens” who n “unlock creative procs” and lead to “signifint self-realizatns.
The relatnship between Frodo and Sam is not only an o to same-sex love but also an archetypal dynamic wh each gay man, where self-reflectn may reveal the existence of an ner lover or a “soul figure” and gui who lov jt as Sam lov Frodo, and who, like Sam, n spur to reach our greatt potential.
