Capturing Tolkien's Vision vs. A Literal Interpretation

Ruinel: I did not ask for literal page by page, really.

BB: What did you want?

Ruinel: I would have wanted the characters to stay as they are in the book. There were reasons why Tolkien wrote these characters they way he did.

BB: oh.

Ruinel: There were reasons why each scene was developed the way it was and each event happened the way it did.

BB: oh.

Ruinel: So, BB, don't you dare say I wanted a literal interpretation!!!
