- the_af 5y agoI don't think it was entirely intentional. I think it's the random mix of two narratives: the more childish The Hobbit, which grew out of stories for Tolkien's child, and the more serious and for grownups The Silmarillion. Tolkien wanted to write about the latter but publishers felt the readers wanted "more hobbits".
