Although The Hobbit has a lighter, often childlike tone, compared the LoTR and the Silmarillion, the references to things such as the war between Dwarves and Orcs has the shadow of real darkness.

Lovely essay.

I just love dwarves with their stubborness. They are annoying at times but you always know what to expect of them.
