Review: Tolkien
Tolkien Trailer It would only take a cursory examination of this site to let you know that I am a Middle-Earth obsessive, but rather than harp on about that in this preamble, I wanted to talk about something else. The … Continue reading
The Hobbit, Chapter-By-Chapter: The Last Stage
And so, the end. “The Last Stage” rounds off the story in concise fashion, as Bilbo undertakes the second half of his journey home, and Tolkien draws his narrative to a close. The conclusion of The Hobbit seems positively tiny compared to … Continue reading

The Hobbit, Chapter-By-Chapter: The Return Journey
The central events of The Hobbit have come to a conclusion, all that’s left is the mopping up and the going home. “The Return Journey” gives us just what it says on the tin, but the more interesting part is … Continue reading

The Hobbit, Chapter-By-Chapter: The Clouds Burst
We have come to the climax of the story, in the suitably titled “The Clouds Burst”. The chain of events that began back in Bilbo’s kitchen – or maybe even further back, to the sack of Dale and fall of … Continue reading

The Hobbit, Chapter-By-Chapter: A Thief In The Night
Having set up the central conflict of what remains of the narrative in the last chapter, Tolkien must now execute the final instigating act of the plot, in one of The Hobbit’s shortest, but most important, chapters. “A Thief In … Continue reading

The Hobbit, Chapter-By-Chapter: The Gathering Of The Clouds
The destruction of Smaug signaled the end of the books second act, and now we are marching on to the culmination of things. “The Gathering Of The Clouds” is a transitional chapter in a sense, as little true plot progression … Continue reading

The Hobbit, Chapter-By-Chapter: Not At Home
“Not At Home” is an odd chapter in many ways. It’s partially another transition chapter, and when viewed in line with what comes after, it’s natural to think that its placement is a little strange. After all, “Inside Information” ended … Continue reading

The Hobbit, Chapter-By-Chapter: Inside Information
This is the last large chapter, before the story really breaks into smaller bitesize chunks: here, just as in “Riddles In The Dark” and “Flies And Spiders“, Tolkien lets loose, crafting a large self-contained narrative, with its beating heart being … Continue reading

The Hobbit, Chapter-By-Chapter: On The Doorstep
We go from one short chapter to an ever shorter one. “On The Doorstep” is a bit of an odd entry, a set-up chapter for the more momentous events to come when we get to meet Smaug. As such, there … Continue reading
