Bilbo Baggins Quest

Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit that enjoys a peaceful lifestyle. Hobbits like to stay indoors and smoke their pipes and they do not like socialize. Hobbits do not like adventure or socializing with unfamiliar creatures. When he was asked to go on the adventure with the dwarves, Bilbo was taken out of his comfort zone and into the world of a hero. Bilbo goes from hobbit to a hero when he helps the dwarves get out of jail, put everyone in a barrel ,and fights spiders.

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.

He slowly evolved as time went on, starting with a knock his door by an extraordinary wizard. Then, soon after that, when the dwarves arrived, Bilbo’s perspective seemed to change and open up to possibilities. He became more confident and more willing to prove himself. This is shown in Bilbo’s first challenge where he risks his life and the dwarves to steal from the trolls, so he didn’t come back empty handed. This showed him, that sometimes risks are worth taking. Another event that made Bilbo “evolve” a lot, is when he faced off his first challenge completely by himself. This was in Gollum's cave. There were many ways that Gollum changed Bilbo’s adventure, but besides that, the encounter changed Bilbo. It changed him because it seems like, in this event, Bilbo finally is able to trust in himself like when he decided to outmaneuver golem all by himself, and when he uses his wits, and brains to defeat Gollum. Through this, Bilbo discovered, that he himself could be strong, by using just his bravery, and his smarts. One more of these important events, that I believe is the most essential to this topic is the encounters with the spiders. This is because, in this one event, all the lessons Bilbo has learned, and all his adventures contribute to his success. He needs his bravery and wits, to be able to taunt the spider, his ability to persevere past challenges, and also, his willingness to

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

In the introduction of this story you could say that Bilbo is kind of like Mr.Scrooge and in the end is more like Winnie the Pooh. The character progression in this story is very deep and it actually surprised me. Another quote that shows that he learns to care about other is this one “ I willing to give you the Arkenstone. I am merely trying to avoid trouble for all concerned” This quote shows that he is willing to give up his possessions for his friends’ safety. Because of Bilbo’s change at the end, he and his friends were able to avoid attacks from the Elven King and his allies from stealing their gold. They were also able to fight off the goblins who were the main antagonists in the book.

Bilbo’s story is a story of a hero’s journey. From his origins we do not see that Bilbo likes to go on adventures. However, his mother’s side of the family got the best of him and he does decide to go on the adventure. We will look at his call to adventure and why he decided to go on the trip. Next, we will look at Bilbo and the weapons and supernatural help he used. The final aspect we’ll look at is Bilbo’s trials and transformations and goals during Tolkien’s The Hobbit.

In every book, there comes characters. These characters often times bring a hero. Heros are usually the protagonist of every book and the “good guy”. Who’s the hero in “The Hobbit”? It’s the hobbit named Bilbo Baggins, often times referred to as the burglar. He acts like a leader to the dwarves

What is this character we call a “hero”? A hero is being of abundant power, defiance, and intrepidity that conquer evil despite of impregnable obstacle to rescue the breath of inculpable lives that cannot defend for themselves. However, “hero” gives an exclusively altered significance in J.R.R Tolkien’s fictional tale The Hobbit, as our hero is a selfish, lazy hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. Conflicting to our meaning of a hero, Mr. Baggins’ life and stability isn’t evaluated aside the authority of his weapon, or the expanse of enemies he has overcome. Instead, his capability and bravery is built on his hidden sneaks, courage and bravery, and his trustworthiness to his acquaintances.

During the journey, Bilbo was shown as a soft and humble character that turns into a character full of courage and adventure. In this essay, I will prove that Bilbo has changed and developed into a brave and wise hobbit and at points he was also a trusted leader. The first piece of evidence in the book is in the Chapter, “Riddles in the Dark.” In that chapter Bilbo is lost in a cave and finds a ring that will later be shown as a ring of magic.

In every story, there is the hero, a man of strength, courage and swordsmanship who slays dragons and saves princesses. However, in The Hobbit you have the most unlikely, unexpected hero. Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who resides in his hobbit hole and lives an ordinary and exceedingly comfortable life. You would not expect a creature of his size and stature to save kingdoms and lands. But he inevitably gains strengths and abilities that enable him to become a hero. Much like him is Frodo Baggins, Bilbo’s younger nephew. He is also an unusual, non-traditional hero. Bilbo and Frodo both sought for adventures gained courage, perseverance, and were loyal and true to their companions. Although, Bilbo had more external conflicts in his adventure and Frodo experienced more of an internal struggle in his adventure, they both shared one common characteristic: they were traditional heroes that became non-traditional in the end.

Bilbo Baggins is one of the main characters of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. Being a main character in a story, especially an adventure story, typically comes with some pretty hefty responsibilities. More often than not, the main character is also the hero. A hero is defined as “a person, typically a man, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities,” and these are not necessarily qualities readily attributed to Bilbo Baggins (oxforddictionaries.com). This essay will look at three ways in which Bilbo contrasts the traditional characteristics of a hero and what transformations he ends up making to fit the mold more closely. It will examine his lineage, his strength, and his attitude as well as the changes he makes throughout the story.

Bilbo Baggins, a Hobbit, is the main character in The Hobbit, hence the name. Bilbo is very intelligent and cunning. He can save his friends in some of the toughest situations and can use his tools of brain and bronze to his advantage. In this respect he is also kind and loyal because he will not leave his friends behind, even if they have been captured by giant spiders, but he is also slightly selfish, because he knows that without his friends, he might not be able to survive.
