Is There a Way to Use the Forest?

Roxanne Jones: Tom Bombadil represents taking delight in things for themselves without reference to yourself watching, observing, and to some extent knowing actually think part of that's a quote from Tolkien. She says when the hobbits entered the forest they were definitely about use. They were like we're just going to manhandle these branches until we get to where we want to go she says. And Bombadil was instrumental in helping them understand that no you are part of this but you can't just control it is not for your use said Jones. "I feel like a lot of times we get lost in what nature does for us and not how we're part of it" writes Jones
