Vices and Virtues, Part 1: Hubris and Humility in Middle-Earth

We're starting a short series this week looking at vices and virtues in Middle-Earth, starting out with Hubris and Humility. Who are the characters that exhibit excessive pride? How does it figure into Tolkien's world and his story? Who are the humble characters? How do we see these things set against each other. Let us know what you think! (Also, let us know about other Vices and Virtues you'd like to hear us talk about!)
