    In the novel the Hobbit, Bilbo and the dwarfs are travelling in the mountains in the rainy days of summer, where they are on a quest to find Smaug’s treasure. While the smell of wet earth filled their noses, kili and fili (2 of the dwarfs) saw a cave where the they could rest. As they entered, they could taste fear, and had a feeling about something nearby. They slept, and they woke up to find their pony's tail sliding into a crack. It was morning at the time, and gobling ran out of the crack, as it got bigger. The only thing bilbo could hear was the goblins screaming “kill them!’’ ‘’Kill them. out came the goblin king (he was like a lion!). In no time , Gandalf the wizard, had a sword through him.

    Bilbo’s cloak’s “buttons burst off in all directions” (89), symbolising how he is growing from his child-like character. While traveling through the Mirkwood Forest, this character development is clearly shown. When Bilbo and the dwarves are captured by the spiders, Bilbo is able to use his wits from his Baggins side and the courage from his Took side. Tolkien uses this internal conflict, in this case Bilbo’s Baggins and Took side, to show the gradual development throughout The Hobbit. Compared to the low-mimetic hero of Bilbo, who is described as a small hobbit under the hill, Thorin is first introduced into The Hobbit as “enormously important” (10) and the great son of Thrain, King under the Mountain.…

    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…

    I will be talking about Gandalf’s role in the story and how he is like a father figure to Bilbo. The Hobbit was wrote by J. R. R. Tolkien. We first see Gandalf at the beginning of the story when he meets Bilbo at his hobbit hole. The first impression the story gives us about Gandalf is he is wise and every time he visits he tells adventourus stories. Gandalf is a old wise wizard, who isn’t interested in the gold the dwarves were looking for but to push Bilbo into a new life style.…

    Why Is Tolkien Wrong

    • 172 Words

    Tolkien is wrong because if you remember in the beginning of the book it says that they saw the elves after the dragon came and destroyed and burned the whole town.In the movie it shows that after the dragon destroyed and burned the whole town they saw the elf king just standing there on the top of the hill with his elf army after the town was destroyed. Tolkien is also right because when the dwarves were being attacked by the orcs.Then that guy was distracting the orcs animals with his rabbits.Then when everything went wrong, he orcs found out that it was just a distraction, but then the elf King and his army saved the dwarves lives. At the end, I would think that the elf King is bad because the rods have the best army and weapons and if…
