ROOM: Auditorium
DESCRIPTION:Library AuditoriumHobbits are central characters in J.R.R. Tol
 kien’s most popular works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and a
 re a key to their success; however they are often overlooked when thinking
  about his works critically. Tolkien’s craftsmanship is the main reason 
 that we do not discuss the hobbits more often, and I want to focus on a fe
 w key aspects of how this operates. First, we will explore what hobbits ar
 e like from an in-text perspective, then shift to talking about their role
 s within the texts and how they help readers accept elements of Tolkien&#0
 39;s writing that might otherwise be unbelievable. Along the way, we will 
 see how these concepts interact with some larger themes in Tolkien’s wor
 k.
