Re: The Elven change in character

When JRRT first wrote 'The Hobbit' it was not intended to be part of his 'Silmarillion' mythology (he borrowed some names but it was not the same world). After writing LotR he rewrote a little bit of 'The Hobbit' to bring it more into line with LotR and the legendarium. It also seems that he wanted to do a more major rewrite but did not get that chance. One can always look at 'The Hobbit' as written by Bilbo and told in the manner of a Hobbit children's story. Even then note that there is a slight change in the presentation of the Elves at the beginning and at the end of the book (there is also a noticible difference between the Elves in LotR and in the Silmarillion). It is disappointing that JRRT never did rewrite the Hobbit and bring it fully in line with the legendarium.
