Much debate surrounds the exact nature of Tom Bombadil, and by extension his slightly less mysterious wife, Goldberry. In this video I won't explore what they are, but rather one of the things they seem to represent--archetypal masculine and feminine personalities in a sort of pre-Fall condition. But maybe I'm just crazy, in which case you can let me know in the comments!
