They're more overtones.
Yes... and no.
That the two grow to love each other through their shared trauma is clear. Whether Tolkien meant that love to also include carnal lust is open to debate, which is why I wrote 'gay' not Gay.
With the increase in more positive presentations of Gays and Lesbians in film and T.V. maybe, these days, we rush too quickly to assume same sex love has to be sexual (even if it's repressed) Love between two people can take a myriad of forms, whatever their sex or gender.
It's a lovely piece of work!
Yes Frides, it's a very thoughtful piece of writing.
