 Critical Essay by Randel Helms
2,850 words, approx. 10 pages
[We] have in The Hobbit and its sequel what is in fact the same story, told first very simply, and then again, very intricately.

The episodic structures of the two books are so closely parallel one says... summary from source:

Their main qualities are appare... summary from source:

Bilbo's story has surprising depths that can be plumbed by the reader who is receptive to psychoanalytic interpretations. The central pattern...
