The strange intuitiveness of Hobbits - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tolkien was telling his story through the eyes of hobbits, so if there was anything he wanted us to know about the other characters, without them just saying it out loud, it was natural for him to have the hobbits intuitive about it.

I think most main characters in novels will strike people as quite intuitive. They are, after all, the eyes, ears and mouth of the author.
