J.R.R. Tolkien

'In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole and that means comfort.'

Frodo (played by Elijah Wood) and Bilbo (played by Sir Ian Holm) are hobbits.

Hobbits are short, usually plump, with curly hair on their feet and tough soles that do not require shoes. They are a simple people, and enjoy eating (preferably six meals a day), laughing, and farming. They do not like "machinery" and are not exactly what you would call bookworms. They are passionate about mushrooms.

'The Hobbit' reflects traditional high fantasy conventions through its use of mythical creatures, epic quests, and a struggle between good and evil. It incorporates themes of heroism, magic, and the battle between light and darkness, which are common in the high fantasy genre. Tolkien's world-building and detailed lore further contribute to the traditional aspects of high fantasy found in 'The Hobbit.'

J.R.R. Tolkien was released from military service in 1919, after serving as a signals officer during World War I.

To show how evil can devour the whole goodness of a person's being, leaving only the shell that is of memories past of what that person used to be. Plus, I think Tolkien wanted to portray how blind empathy from a cariing person can be taken advantage of by another whose deceptive ways dominate the relationship.

The third part in J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy is titled "The Return of the King." It concludes the epic story of Frodo and his companions' quest to destroy the One Ring and defeat Sauron.

Tolkien describes the wargs in "The Hobbit" as large, fierce, evil wolves that are in league with goblins and are under the control of the goblin leader, the Great Goblin. They are depicted as being cunning, cruel, and capable of communication with one another.

Tolkien describes dwarves as not being traditional heroes because they are motivated more by a desire for material wealth and a strong sense of duty to their home and kin, rather than selfless acts for the greater good. Their focus on reclaiming lost treasures and their stubborn nature are traits that set them apart from the more noble and heroic characters in his stories.

Tolkien introduces suspense in Chapter 5 of "The Fellowship of the Ring" by building tension through the mysterious disappearance of Frodo and the Ring, leaving the other characters (Sam, Merry, and Pippin) uncertain and anxious about his fate. The characters' sense of urgency and fear as they search for Frodo adds to the suspense as they encounter ominous signs in the Old Forest and Barrow-downs. Furthermore, Tolkien's use of foreshadowing and the unknown intentions of the Black Riders contribute to the overall suspense in the chapter.

The Silmarillion

Much of the base for the books comes from writing that became the Silmarilian, which Tolkien worked on for many years. He then wrote The Hobbit in the 1930's and the Lord of the Rings was done int eh 40's and 50's before publication. The Silmarillian was published after Tolkien's death by his son.
