An excerpt about Harfoots (Hobbits): Put simply, the Harfoot culture is both boring and disturbing. It is a community that does not operate like a community. When Nori’s father, Largo, breaks his foot there is no discussion on how to help the Brandyfoot’s keep up with the caravan. The group doesn’t come together to help one of their own. It’s about the collective as a whole and not the individuals. The strong and able-bodied and not the weak and disabled; a philosophy more in line with “survival of the fittest” with a large dose of Communism. A more modern ideology in today’s political circus to be more direct. Especially as they recite, “Nobody goes off trail and nobody walks alone.” Which makes the Harfoots a repulsive thing to watch. Especially when you think about the scene where they take time to remember those who have “fallen behind.” My revulsion is further amplified when the leader Sadoc Burrows says, “In life, we could not wait for them… It is horrific to think that all the names they have recited are people and families who they might have abandoned rather than help. Which is repugnant to consider when you think how close-knit communities were in older times in the real world. What nomadic tribe, group of settlers, or early civilization would have been able to survive or do anything if they were like the Harfoots?
