Yeah, that's a common complaint. If you know anything about J.R.R. Tolkien and his area of academia, then you know he was a well-respected linguistic. His translations of certain old texts are well regarded among linguistics. I just got his translation of Beowulf for Christmas and intend to read it this summer.

Tolkien was taking a lot of his cues from those old stories. Beowulf, the Kalevala, Ring Cycle, Celtic/Welsh Arthur -- Tolkien drew a lot of themes and stories straight out of these things and emulated a lot of the style. His goal, at first, was to create a mythology for England. So, he used the archetypes for heroes and villains. It's only the Hobbits who are actual characters, giving a way into the High Fantasy archetypes and giving us something to relate to. But, yes, it is better to view the books as a history (especially the Silmarillion -- that one really makes no pretense of character at all).

[Thranduil/Thorin is fairly popular in the Hobbit fandom. Not as big as Bilbo/Thorin but up there. Thranduil/Bard is coming up since the third movie. Although, I think I'd pick Aragorn/Faramir first for my sandwich ;) I haven't had much time for reading lately but one of the fics I really enjoyed was "Honored Guest" by pherede - http://archiveofourown.org/works/614516. It's a little darker than I like Thorin/Thranduil fics but it is excellent. Hobbit fandom fics can run the gambit for sugary sweet or angsty so it kind of depends on how you like the characters to find the fics that are enjoyable to you, although that's likely true of all fandoms. It just seems very pronounced to me with The Hobbit.]

Nonnie, I had to go to bed before you replied with this comment, but thanks for talking to me. This was really interesting. I am on such a LotR/Hobbit kick lately, so I appreciate you indulging me.

(I think Aragorn/Faramir sandwich is an exceedingly fine choice! *bookmarks fic* I've never read any Thorin/Thranduil, so that'll be interesting.)
