Tolkien held a belief that there was a connection between languages and mythologies throughout his career. In 'A Secret Vice', he observed that 'for perfect construction of an art-language it is found necessary to construct at least in outline a mythology concomitant', and that the construction of a language 'will breed a mythology'.

Beowulf
Many features of Bilbo's adventures in The Hobbit, such as his title 'thief', the episodes with the stolen cup, the path under the mountain, leading into the dragon's layer, Smaug's personality, his rage and the destruction of a nearby town, are all examples of plot elements which appear in Beowulf.

Seamus Heaney'in Beowulf çevirisinden:
the old dawn-scorching serpent's den
packed with goblets and vessels from the past,
tarnished and corroding. Rusty helmets
all eaten away.

Karanlık güçler ile Hun benzetmesi
In LOTR, the men of Gondor and their allies fight against what is described as the forces of darkness, monsters and beasts, such as the Lord of the Nazgul, the legions of Morgul and the mumakil.
There is a tradition of portraying the Huns in a similar way, as a blindly destructive, irrational force, an embodiment of evil and a threat to the civilised world.

In 'A Secret Vice', he wrote about the desirability of an artificial language for international communication. The comments he made late in life, however, were more negative.
In 1956, in a draft letter to Mr. Thompson, he wrote: 'Volapük, Esperanto, Ido, Novial, etc etc are dead, far deader than ancient unused languages, because their authors never invented any Esperanto legends'.

Humans possess free will which is essential for their nature as moral beings. Evil arises when they use their free will to reject good and is absent when they choose good.

The term 'the problem of evil' applies to philosophical debates about the origin of evil, its nature, its role in the world and what should be one's response to it. The answer to these questions, (...), is that evil is the absence of perversion of good. It does not exist and cannot be defined independently of good.

Humphrey Carpenter'ın The Authorized Biography kitabından:
Carpenter remarks that he developed a language influenced by Finnish 'to a degree of complexity' by 1915, so that it became possible for him to write poems in it.
Tolkien felt that this language (which later became Quenya) needed a history and mythology, and already then decided that this was the language spoken by the Elves who his invented character, the mariner Earendil, saw on his journeys.

"Batı'nın medeniyeti Doğululardan saklandı"
There is a number of features in Tolkien's description of the battle of Pelennor Fields which can be illuminated through comparison with Jordanes.
One of the most interesting is the idea that in both battles 'the civilisation of the West was preserved from the "Easterlings"'.

Middle-Earth'ün Midgard'dan geliyor oluşu...
Scandinavian mythology inspired many of Tolkien's artistic and philosophical ideas. The very word Middle-Earth is an adaptation of Old Norse miðgarðr (Old English middangeard), which means something like 'middle-enclosure' (the second part of the word is what became 'yard' in Modern English).
