in an asian point of view - maybe yes.
certain facts about the myth, coz the characters of the different
races and culture in the western mythology behaves
differently.
Dwarves are brute, shun the humans and live in the highlands,
mountains and caverns. Though shorter in height than an average
human, dwarves are strong and powerful warriors. Not an adept at
sorcery but they are better in resisting psychic assault compared
to an average untrained human. Dwarves are craftmans and many good
axes and hefty weapons are forged by themselves.
Elves are borned archers (though i can say that Legolas'
marksmanship is a little far too exaggerated!), good with the
shortsword, swift and dexterious. Most elves have that slender
build and unassuming outlook, which makes their charisma at all
time high. Woodfolks they are and like the dwarves, they shun the
human race too. However, they are able to understand everthing
about the lives in the forest, from the inhabitants right up to the
trees. Elves will never run out of bows and arrows. They are
craftmens just like the Dwarves. They string their own bows and
make their own arrows.
Hobbits are gays? Well in a way they are not combants and comparing
them with the human race, dwarves and elves, perhaps they are like
sissy in our eyes. Just remember that the Hobbits are simple folks
and if it wasn' t for the fact that Tolkien put them in his book
and entrusted the Hobbits the quest to destroy the Ring right at
the Devil's backyard, i am sure Frodo, Sam and the rest of the gang
would rather stay home and watch TV.
