Can the medieval and the contemporary ever be compared? Although they were written many years apart, the great classics Beowulf and The Hobbit share several similar elements. J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel, The Hobbit, was published in 1937. In contrast, Beowulf’s author is unknown, and the earliest manuscript dates back to about 1000 A.D. Written in distinct styles, the narratives differ since one is an epic poem and the other is a novel. Despite the age difference, parallels abound between the two tales, including brave protagonists, similar plot lines, and malicious dragons as the antagonist.…

J.J.R. Tolkien was and still is a very influential writer, and his stories have shaped the way we look at fantasy today. It is strange to think that if his life hadn’t been the way it was, the books he wrote wouldn’t be the same. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings was greatly influenced by experiences in his life. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien’s schooling had a large role to play all through his life.…
When it comes to J.R.R. Tolkien’s writing style, it all comes down to the details. We see throughout the Hobbit the importance of miniscule details to the story, like when explaining Bilbo Baggin’s house and routine. It’s incredibly distinct especially when comparing the trend of modern writers today using shorter prose among young adults. It is not necessarily a bad thing as it shows that Tolkien as an author wishes not only to explain, but essentially show us the world of Middle-Earth. We also see the influence of much of his research and life bleed through.…

We know the future will outlast all of us, but I believe that all of us will live on in the future we make,” (Baker,1). The Hobbit and Abarat show a different world that has no end in sight.…
