Hobbits and Dwarves

[LOTRF]

Ok I was talking to this guy about Hobbits and Dwarves and he said they were pretty much the same. I dissagree but what do you guys think????? Thanx

[Greymantle]

The only similarity I can see, on any level, between the two races, is that they're shorter than Men. ;)

Dwarves and Hobbits the same.. The hobbits are presumed to be related to men, but i'm not sure in what way. Dwarves are said to have been created by Aule and is, so far, not counted among the children of Iluvatar..

Of course they are not the same.I can think of many differences:
1)dwarves were created long ago(much longer than hobbits) by Aule
2)all dwarves have beards(including females,which was the first thing I learnt when I came to this forum)
3)dwarves and hobbits aren't the same height,nor the same structure
4)dwarves live about 1-2 hundred years longer
5)did you ever hear that dwarves live under mountains,while hobbits prefer round holes,which are not that deep
6)and what about the Dwarvish crafts ?

They're both short.......that's about it.

Dwarves: Hard, untrustworthy, loud, ferocious
Hobbits: Kind, Trusting, Quiet, Timid
