Yeah I get it, but natively latin speakers didn't ever use "ille" as "the", it eventually developed in romance languages, but in latin per se there is no article, they should've translated it like in other languages that don't use articles.
Ille in context of "emphasis" (it's not actually emphatic but still a demonstrative) is more like "that one", and fits better in a discourse than a book's title. Morphologically weakening the meaning of "ille" is more akin to medieval latin, but medieval latin is regarded as polluted after the renaissance. Thus it looks like a forced translation from English instead of an interpretation. Also you don't have to force every word to the second declension like a 19th c. zoologist, it doesn't sound natural.
As a side note, "ille hobbitus" sounds better because you can elide one syllable.

You mean like slavery? If that's the case, shouldn't we just kill all niggers? I mean, after all, they've been using slaves for a very long time, longer than white people, and they're still using slaves in niggerland. Same goes true for cockroaches in the middle-east like Turkey, perhaps they should be wiped out for their colonial crimes (past and present - they still occupy Cyprus, remember?).

I say we kill all untermensch, that is, all non-white people.

Plebs just don't understand what it's like to be on top of the Myers-Briggs pyramid.

Can one classic be objectively better than another classic?
Numerous books have been written throughout history and most of them were lost. If there weren't some discernible quality to the classics, they wouldn't have survived. Maybe you don't get what a classic is classic for, but someone else does, so you can't objectively claim a classic as bad.
Do you agree?
