Bilbo Baggins In The Hobbit

They held a great deal of admiration for their friend who proved his worthiness through his burglaring success. After the final battle, Bilbo talks to Thorin right before the he dies, “‘There is more in you than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in the measure’” (Tolkien 290). The dwarf king realized his original opinion of Bilbo was wrong. Thorin found that Bilbo was brave and honorable, not weak and incapable. The rest of the dwarves developed the same opinion as Thorin, “Then the dwarves bowed low before their Gate, but words stuck in their throats. ‘Good-bye and good luck, wherever you fare!’” (Tolkien 294). Originally, the dwarves were almost unwilling to take the little hobbit along on the journey, but by the end, they were struggling to say goodbye to their friend. Bilbo became more than just a burglar to the dwarves, he became a respected

Bilbo is a timid, comfortable, and compact in his secure little hole at Bag End. Gandalf persuaded him into going on a quest with Thorin’s dwarves. Bilbo became afraid that he fainted. As the novel progresses, Bilbo prevails in the face of danger and adversity, justifying Gandalf’s early claim that there is more to him than what he thought. Bilbo’s journey fits into the tradition of a hero’s quest, because he basically went somewhere in order to gain something.

By helping everyone get out of the terrible situation with the dwarves and making sure everyone was safe, Bilbo proved to be a fantastic leader while Gandalf was away during this novel.

By putting his life in danger Bilbo shows a true example of heroism. Though the dwarves were still skeptical of his abilities, they were starting to take into consideration of what Gandalf had said about this little hobbit. Continuing their adventure the group is attacked by goblins where they are eventually saved by Gandalf. Throughout the turmoil of the attacking goblins Bilbo gets lost in the caves and finds himself alone in the darkness. It is in this event when Bilbo finds Gollum’s ring. Gollum was a sickly looking creature that had been dwelling in the caves for many years. Bilbo used his wits to outsmart the creature by playing a riddle game with him and eventually made it to safety. Having Bilbo win the riddle game shows that his smart and witty mind aids him in becoming the hero. Bilbo wasn’t some tough strong stereotypical super hero, he used his smarts to outwit his foes and to triumph over evil. Though Bilbo at the time did not know the power of the ring that he had retrieved from Gollum’s lair (the power of invisibility), it was his heroic fate that he found it as it assist him in becoming the hero of the story. Fate has it that Bilbo will become a hero, but Bilbo also has the courage on top of his fate to get the dwarves out of life threatening situations.

Before Bilbo is a leader his success is all about him. How he can better his own personal well-being and improve himself. “Poor Bilbo couldn’t bear it any longer. At may not return he began to feel a shriek coming up inside and very soon it burst out like the whistle of an engine coming out of a tunnel” (pg.20). Bilbo did not think about the rest of the company when he was making this decision. He did not think that they really needed him and would not accept his role as leader as soon as he could have. “After hearing all this Bilbo ought to have done something at once. Either he should have gone back quietly and warned his

In conclusion, we can now see that Bilbo is in fact a dynamic character. He gains many qualities he can use in the future, like courage, learning to use his wits, and letting out the adventurous side in him. He used to be almost paranoid, to himself, and strict. But now he has turned into something much bigger, an adventurer. So the adventure changed him for the better. This is how Bilbo Baggins, the hobbit we thought would never do anything

At the beginning, Gandalf pretty much has to trick Bilbo into going on this adventure, but by the end of the book, Bilbo is much more courageous and willing to adventure out on his own, as evidenced by his willingness to confront Smaug. Due to Bilbo being a son of a Baggin ’s he was very conservative and didn’t enjoy adventure but due to Bilbo also being a son of a Took’s he was more adventurous and acknowledged life. Bilbo’s Took side convinced him to go on the quest with Gandalf. Bilbo becomes much more adventurous during the book by JRR

Bilbo Baggins changes a lot in the novel The Hobbit. In the beginning he is a small peaceful Hobbit who lives in Hobbiton. He loves to keep things in order, and hates things that are disorganized. “Please be careful,” and “Please don’t trouble. I can manage” (Tolkein, 12). Then one day a wizard by the name of Gandalf comes and gives Bilbo the opportunity to go on an adventure. Bilbo turns his offer down, but the next day thirteen dwarves come to his house. They have meals together and they sleep at Bilbo’s house. Gandalf then convinces him to go on an adventure with them. Bilbo is many things, in the very begging he is flat, static, main, and he is the protagonist. By the end of the story he is round, dynamic, main, and he is still the

Defeating Smaug and getting the treasure was the whole objective of the journey, so Smaug is actually a reflection of Bilbo’s greatest desires and fears. On page two hundred and forty-seven of The Hobbit, a quote gives deeper insight to Bilbo’s adventurous spirit and why he may regret some of his decisions, “But the dragon was worried and uncomfortable, and they had difficulty in getting anything out of him. On thinking things over he was now regretting some of the things he had said ot the dragon, and was not eager to repeat them” (The Hobbit, 247). Speaking to the dragon, Smaug, was very risky and out of Bilbo’s comfort zone. After revealing too much about himself and the dwarves, Bilbo realized the dangerous situation he may have caused for him and his friends.

Bilbo was scouted and given an offer to steal back a mountain. At first he denied the offer, but soon after regretted it and chased after the group of hobbits. In this long journey, Bilbo and the other hobbits try to reach the mountain while facing many challenges. Once arriving at the great mountain major conflicts start to unravel. This is where Bilbo falls into place perfectly making all the right and risky decisions.

Bilbo Baggins is the protagonist of The Hobbit. Bilbo Baggins has curly brown hair and thick leathery feet. He was fat in the stomach and was half the height of an adult. He likes having multiple meals a day, and snacks. Bilbo also had long clever fingers. Bilbo is a very respectable individual. He enjoyed staying at home, Bilbo doing something unexpected was unheard of. Before the adventure, he thought highly of his neighbor's opinion about him. When Gandalf chose Bilbo the other dwarves thought that he was unfit for the job. The dwarves did not

The hero’s journey begins with the hero being introduced in their ordinary world. This is where the reader learns about the hero’s background, flaws and strengths. This is so that the reader can establish a bond with the situation, which gives them experience of an adventure through the hero. In chapter 1 of The Hobbit, Tolkien introduces Bilbo Baggins as an ordinary hobbit who lives in an ordinary hobbit hole on the side of The Hill. In this chapter Tolkien hints towards Bilbo’s mother’s side, the Took-clan, who ‘something was not entirely hobbit like about them’ (Page 13).

Bilbo uncovers things about himself that he didn't even know possibly existed within him. In the cliché theme of 'good versus evil', Bilbo, without question, automatically jumps to the 'good' side. In his character, there are no uncertain borders, as there are in the temperaments of the dwarves. From the beginning to the end he stays an honourable and honest hobbit,

It was made clear that the dwarves were not fond of Bilbo when Gandalf had departed the company. This is definitely unanticipated, due to how the dwarves did not want him from the start. The dwarves were taken captive, this is when the derogatory thoughts that had been directed towards Bilbo were changed. During this occasion, Bilbo used his advanced but unnoticed leadership skills to save the dwarves from utmost misery. Bilbo Baggins could have left the dwarves to perish, but he chose not to although he was unwanted and hated. Baggins also rescued the company from utmost squalor when he led the group out of the spiders’ habitat into
