    "Riddles in the Dark" | JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit | Archives 229

    One of the most chilling elements of a fantasy story is the descent into darkness. Darkness is the realm of evil, where wicked power have a home-court advantage. But journeys into the dark have a way of bringing out the light, of forcing the actors of light to evolve and emerge stronger than when they entered the darkness.  Today we wander in the dark as we explore Bilbo Baggins’s journey into darkness as told in chapter 5: Riddles in the Dark, of JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit.

We explore the opening of the movie The Hobbit, an Unexpected Journey, and compare it to the chapter in JRR Tolkien’s classic children’s book, The Hobbit.

    The Origins of The Hobbit | JRR Tolkien | Archives | 222

    "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." Tolkien’s simple opening line to his book The Hobbit wasn’t merely the first sentence to a children’s story of adventure, bravery, and dragons: this sentence is the first step in our own adventure of wandering Middle-earth. That unassuming yet provocative line opens us to a much wider world, to the epic struggle of good vs evil, of light overcoming the Shadow. Today we’ll examine the origins of Tolkien’s first published work of fiction, The Hobbit.
