Valuing cher and song above hoarded gold : magistrsko deloZabukovšek, NikIn this thesis, I compare two stories by J. R. R. Tolkien: The Hobbit and Farmer Giles of Ham. I first provide a short theoretical background - a biography of the author, a definition of the fantasy ... genre, short summaries of the two works and their respective publication histories. In doing so, I provide the context for the works being as they are. In the second part, I undertake an analysis and comparison of certain important elements that are common to both works. Among these are the Protagonist, Dragon, the protagonist's sword, the Sage and the setting. Further, I analyse some of the more salient motifs present in both works: an underestimated protagonist, cursed dragon-treasure, warrior culture and personal courage, and the concept of ofermod. In the last chapter, I undertake an in-depth look into the humour present in Farmer Giles of Ham. The story originated as a children's tale, yet eventually developed into a work containing many instances of sophisticated philological, as well as low-brow humour. Here I endeavour to highlight Tolkien's keen wit, rarely expressed in his Middle-earth works.Type of material - master's thesis ; adult, seriousPublication and manufacture - Maribor : [N.
