Why SEVEN dwarves?
Hello, everybody. There's something bugging me about Dwarves. Excuse me if this is a stupid question.
Is there a reason why the number of dwarves in Snow White and the number of Dwarf kings in Lord of the Rings is the same? Did Tolkien got it from Snow White? If so, why, is there any meaning to this number? Or is there a common origin for this number in both cases? Or is it all just coincidence and I'm overthinking it?
Thank you!
