    The plot of the story, The Dwarves quest to reclaim their homeland, happens because Thorin is loyal to his forefathers and feels obligated to find their long-forgotten gold, as well as restore honor to Thorin and his descendant’s name. Bilbo is also included in the company because the Dwarves are loyal to Gandalf, and trust Gandalf. Bilbo shows loyalty towards the Dwarves throughout the novel by putting himself in dangerous situations to help or save the Dwarves, such as saving them from the spiders in Mirkwood, or freeing them from the Elvish prison. Bilbo's display of loyalty and heroism causes the Dwarves to show a sense of greater devotion as the story progresses. The ending of the novel shows a form of disloyalty of the Hobbits of the Shire towards Bilbo. Bilbo's friends and relatives declared Bilbo dead, auctioned off his valued items, and later try to distance themselves from the Hobbit because they believe he has changed. Bilbo's friends and relatives from the beginning of the novel being disloyal at the end act as a contrast to the Dwarves being loyal to Bilbo at the…
