    In the movie versions of The Hobbit there were many newly imagined characters and plots added into the screenplays. One of the most controversial additions was the Elven warrior Tauriel. In the book‚ there are no major female characters‚ in fact there are no minor female characters either. While the concept of Tauriel was an exciting and dynamic addition to the male driven storyline‚ it also felt half-hearted‚ as if to the writers‚ she was only there to be apart of a cheesy romantic plotline.
