Re: What fictional world is your escapist fantasy?

[(Anonymous)]

casual LOTR fan - did Bilbo and Frodo work, or were they just monied?

I'll take "family fortune, sit reading in a field and eating delicious hobbit food all day" type of hobbit, if it is an option.

They're very explicitly propertied.

I mean, they have a named country house (Bag End). It's not like Tolkien was hiding the social class to which they belonged.

I thought there was no word more annoying than "monied" and then I saw "propertied." Urgh. Just say someone is rich or owns property.

Bilbo was modestly moneyed, until he came home with a huge shit ton of money. From there on he was rich, and so was Frodo.

Most of us would be Samwise and Gaffer, if we were lucky.

Bilbo's father, Bungo, was wealthy enough that he could marry a Took, although the Tooks were richer and Bag End was partly built with Belladonna's money. The Old Took wouldn't have let Belladonna marry a hobbit of modest means, even if he was eminently respectable.

I mean, I can see the Old Took having the same conversation with Bungo that my maternal grandfather had with my dad: "Do you think you can afford her?" And Bungo evidently thought he could.
