No one in Middle Earth would dare mistake a hobbit for a human. Yet, Tolkien’s classic literary work The Hobbit does indeed shed light on what it means to be human. As we trek alongside a determined band of dwarves (and their burglar), we will ask what characters’ responses to danger, deception, and delight have to teach us about the human condition. Come learn more from Dr. Eliot Grasso on humanity within the classic tale of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.
