The Hobbit - Chapter 14 - Fire and Water

[Tuor of Gondolin]

this book becomes more and more a morality play and less and less a simple fairy tale.

Very good. And a presage of perhaps the most fascinating
chapter in the book, where JRRT lays out the complex,
intertwined calls on the treasure by the various claimants,
of whom it could be argued Bilbo comes out morally best.
