Tessara’s comments from the Hobbit Q&A with Sarah Arthur group.

Wow! I hadn't ever made that connection either -- thank you for sharing, Amy.

For myself, I am quite fond of the end, when Bilbo returns to the Shire and is known to be 'queer' forever after, and then Gandalf and Balin come to visit years later, and they talk of prophecy. I love this bit:

"Surely you don't disbelieve the prophecies, because you had a hand in bringing them about yourself? You don't really suppose, do you, that all your adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck, just for your sole benefit?"
