Replantearse la literatura fantástica

Bilbo le dice a Gandalf:
I'm old, Gandalf. I know I dont look it, but Im beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel all thin, sort of stretched, like butter that has been scraped over too much bread.
Otra reflexión de Bilbo:
Its a dangerous business, going out of your door, you step into the road, and if you dont keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.
Dialogo entre Frodo y Gandalf sobre Gollum:
-What a pity that Bilbo did not stab that vile creature when he had a chance!- said Frodo.
-Pity? It was pity that stayed his hand. Pity and mercy: not to strike without need.
-I am sorry, but Im frightened; and I do not feel any pity for Gollum. At any rate he is as bad as an orc, and just an enemy. He deserves death.
-Deserves it! I dare say he does. Many that live deserve death, and some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play yet, for good or ill, before the end, and when that comes, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many.
Y aquí viene mi fragmento favorito del Señor de los Anillos. El poema sobre Aragorn, una auténtica oda a la esperanza:
The Sword That Was Broken
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not whiter,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king

Lo triste es que no se quien ni en que epoca establecio la los parametros de la etiqueta de "literatura fantastica", ¿ a caso no hay fantasia en el mas respetado poema? ¿donde esta lo real en el amor que aparece en la literatura mas respetada?
