The Hobbit Movie Comparison

Dragged Down by the King of the Mountains ¨… the faint outline of the door, and by a trick of the echoes of the tunnel hear the rustle of the whispering voices.”(Tolkien 214). Here lies the home of an evil dragon in which a developing hero enters and battles with conflicts in every corner. Within the novel, The Hobbit, by the author, J. R. R.
