Why We Still Read The Hobbit: Written in 1937, why does this story continue to resonate with readers nearly 100 years later?

Week Two

Loyalty and Leadership: Why does Bilbo stay loyal to the dwarves, and who should lead the expedition now?

Week Three

Facing the Dragon: How does Bilbo’s exploration of Smaug’s lair compare to the dwarves’ approach? What are the characteristics of dragons in Tolkien’s world?
