A small Hobbit






There is a word used to describe the style of《The Hobbits》, which is quiet humor, In accordance with the description of hairy feet and small men for the hobbits, satire their conceited behavior without mercy, rendered the characteristics of small men that stubborn, patient, proud, greedy for treasure and pride for talent, so that the elves feel cheerful and naughty and so on. It may not make you laugh, but it will make you smile from beginning to end. I think it's also an extremely important part of The Hobbit. In Tolkien's world, in the struggle between the gods who create the world and the Morgoth, the world seems grand, just like a raging river without stopping, and the music of Eru Ilúvatar always seems magnificent, it is not known that such magnificent music also contains the Hobbits, the tiny existence of Shire, and even at some occasion, they are at the center of Valar's attention at this moment. Power-worshippers don't even have a chance to enjoy listening to the "pu""pu "sound of the kettle when the water boils - it's full of cherishing for home and daily life, insight, and appreciation of small things, the existence of things like Morgoth, sadly they ignored it, but arrogantly trying to dominate the large music and the much complicated than themselves.


When Bilbo's house was crowded with dwarves in a mess, he heard the call of the greater thing, but he hesitated. Many times we can't say exactly what's the certain content in this call, maybe it's a touch, maybe it's just a commotion. It always means taking risks. Perhaps the wizard can be sure that the world will end up in a big reunion, but he can't guarantee Bilbo's safety for returning. The Hobbit would have thought that the evil dragons would not fly over their heads as long as they stayed in Habistun stand aloof from worldly success; that is his own wishful thinking about safety illusion. Because the Middle Earth world is a life-and-death relationship between honor and common whole, a small butterfly fan wings will cause deep vibration. Bilbo struggled for this all night, and in the end, the nature of the adventure won by a narrow margin.


In Tolkien's world, the nature of adventure is not the same as being completely impulsive. Bilbo has heard great legends since he was young, and some of his ancestors have personally participated in the war. Elves, treasures, and evil dragons, three of them have not been seen for a long time, are not fabricated. But this is often enough to impact a person's heart, make him produce an unsoilable yearning, and even willing to betting on life. Because it belongs to something that is "greater than us" and we cannot be indifferent to it unless our nature is extinguished.



Bilbo regretted his decision countless times when he went on the road, lamenting in his heart, "Why should I do such a stupid thing!" "How I wish I were still in the warm and comfortable bottom hole of the cave! He wasn't a hero, and at first, the dwarves looked down on him, said that he did not seem like a free thief, he was more like a grocer. Only Gandalf insisted that Bilbo was the best candidate for the free thief. After reading it, we'll admit that Gandalf is smart, but at the start of the adventure, Bilbo is just a man who goes out and forgets to bring a handcuff. He was chosen as a bugler and was about to take part not only in a treasure hunting, but also in a great battle, but at this point, he knew nothing. Bilbo was both excited and shy, and among the complaining dwarves and the wizards, he looked back from time to time to his hometown behind him, and from time to time to the unseen lonely mountain. He couldn't understand the whole story, but relied on the blessing of the reader's identity -- we could.


Sometimes I suspect that these stories, which exist to provide a perspective with us on our own lives, reminding us that we are not authors in a complete story, but we have a great writer, and we can take risks with a little self-awareness, and although there is no doubt that they will be in danger, the story is not a story of nihilism with a head- and end - it blends epics, adventures, wars, suspense, humor, friendship, and love, and we know from the beginning that it will be a big reunion story.
