Jewish Dwarves?
Rereading through the Hobbit, my husband drew the correlation between the Dwarves and the Jewish people.
I know Tolkien said that his books were not an allegory, and a lot of these points are pretty stereotypical of Dwarves in general (not just Tolkien-canon). Maybe the originator of the Dwarf-archetype had this in mind, or something. Thoughts?
