Yep, definitely serious! It's going to be wonderful, because my argument is basically going to be that "Tolkien constantly defines the characters in terms of passivity and activity instead of non-passivity and non-activity because he hopes to rid the poem of the negative, establishing it as a 'true' mythology by doing violence to the signifier and masking the differance." Because I am a NERD.
