Tom is

But seriously, he is mystery by design. I like how Tolkien left mysteries that are never answered in his works. See the gnawing things beneath the Mines of Moria.

Like I love it. It is anti star wars. Where everything has a history, explaination, or a nod to the reader. Some junk is just there beside the stuff that gets tons of exposition or back story in Tolkien.

I like the idea that Tom is the most pure expression of the spirit and will of nature. Nature just is. It will be. Until the end. Tom's actual power to resist in the end would just be in is Glade and in the corners of the world. Even in the age of man, nature will reeceede. Never completely but increasingly marginalized.
