I like your character parallels with the current political scene. Our world has no shortage of orcs. I sometimes think about who the ents might be…the Amish perhaps? How about the ghost warriors? I’d sure love to be able bring to back all the soldiers who died in the wars of the 20th century….
Anyway, my husband and I are major longtime LOTR fans. I’ve listened to the trilogy on audiobook twice on recent years and we’ve watched the movies multiple times. My son is also a huge fan and has now introduced his girlfriend to the films. She loved them — one of the ways we know she’s a keeper.
Happy to meet a fellow LOTR frog fren, and another lady at that.
I wondered about the ghost warriors, too. That's one of my favorite parts of the third movie, but I'm not sure who they'd be. I like the idea of the ghosts of WWI and WWII coming to avenge their deaths to the military industrial complex.
The ents, too. When I originally got into the story many years ago, I thought maybe they were the Americans in both WWI and WWII, not getting involved until the sinking of the Lusitania and the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I think now, in today's world, they symbolize the people who are still apathetic about all this and have chosen not to pick a side, even as the world crumbles around them. There are still so many out there like this.

Yes! The ents could be the fence sitters who don’t want to pick a side until something pushes them off the fence.
