20.500.12556/DKUM-77256 Valuing Cheer and Song Above Hoarded Gold Ceniti veselje in pesem bolj od nakopičenega zlata In 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. Magistrsko delo se ukvarja s primerjavo dveh zgodb (Hobit in Kmet Tilen iz Hama) izpod peresa J. R. R. Tolkiena. V prvem delu je predstavljeno teoretično ozadje: avtorjeva biografija, opredelitev fantazije kot literarnega žanra, kratka povzetka Hobita in Kmeta Tilna iz Hama, in pa odseka o izvoru obeh zgodb. Tako sta deli v svojem objavljenem stanju postavljeni v kontekst. V drugem delu magistrske naloge je podana podrobna analiza posameznih elementov, ki so skupni obema deloma. Ti so protagonist, zmaj, protagonistov meč, vedež in lokacija zgodb. Nadalje so analizirani nekateri izmed bolj izstopajočih skupnih motivov: podcenjevani protagonist, preklet zmajev zaklad, bojevniška kultura in pojem ofermod. Zadnje poglavje vsebuje analizo humorja v Kmetu Tilnu iz Hama. Delo je bilo prvotno zgodba za otroke, a se je skozi čas razvila v delo, ki vsebuje veliko primerov sofisticiranega filološkega, pa tudi preprostega humorja. Ta del prikazuje Tolkienov smisel za humor, ki ga je v zgodbah, postavljenih v Srednji svet, poredko izrazil.
