the Tragic Hobbit

The Hobbit certainly isn't told in a tragic style, but it definitely could have. The story of Thorin at least is a tragic tale. Driven out of his home by a dragon, years of exile, finally a quest to get it back, ending with a battle where the newly crowned king dies. Another tragic bit is the death of Thror in the Necromancer's dungeons. There are elements of it there, it's just masked by the style. Sophia
