Comparing Bilbo Demotion And Thorin's Disposition

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.

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

The hobbit In JRRT’s novel The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins went from hobbit to hero. Hobbits are shy and homely. Bilbo Baggins was once this way, but he became brave and fearless. Bilbo changed into an unexpected hero according to Tolkien.

Bilbo Baggins suffers a huge internal conflict in the novel largely due to his mixed family heritage. Bilbo's father was a Baggins, a family that is known for their laziness and cautious nature. His mother was a Took, a family that is known for being adventurous and causing mischief. Throughout the novel Bilbo is torn between his fathers and mothers heritage . He can’t decide whether to stay safe or to step up and join Gandalf on the quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain. This conflict eventually changes Bilbo's outlook on life. By the end of the novel he is no longer lazy and cowardly but strong and heroic. During the journey Bilbo is tested many times.(The Politics of Fantasy: The Hobbit and Fascism) Hobbits are shy, amiable, chubby little creatures who prefer to be left alone in their own company. No nasty adventures or ambiguous entanglements with unpredictable foreigners--just long, lazy mornings and afternoons filled with a succession of tea and seed cakes, watching the hair grow on one’s toes, puffing on one's pipe, and talking of nothing more threatening than tomorrow's weather. Bilbo is dead weight in the beginning of the novel. He only slows the group down and is a liability. Through the guidance of Gandalf and the rest of his friends he become an asset to the crew. Bilbo comes across Gollum in the roots of the mountain. Gollum has a

Additionally, the different lighting, angles and sounds make this part of the movie more interesting and it makes audiences sit on the tip of their chair because they really want to know what is going to happen to them next. The main change in the movie to the book is that the movie makes Bilbo the hero. This is more humorous and funny and effective because they use different angles and different sounds that makes the imagery more lifelike and interesting.

In the book, Bilbo was supposed to be the one to save the day, but instead it ended up being all about Thorin. Before Bilbo enters the cave he warns everyone that Smaug is coming. But in the movie, Thorin is the one to warn everyone that Smaug is coming. Thorin exclaims “...But I feel it in my bones that this place will be attacked again. Smaug knows now how I came down to his hall, and you can trust him to guess where the end of the tunnel is. He will break all of this side of the mountain to bits, if necessary, to stop our entrance, and if we are smashed with it the better he will like it” (Tolkien 229). Here, they’re talking about Smaug and how if he finds out where they’re headed then they’re doomed. So they’re trying to put their heads together and figure out a way to go where Smaug doesn’t know where they are and are headed. After Smaug had been taken down by rushing golden liquid racing towards him, the music continued to get louder and more enchanting as if Smaug had been defeated. Peter Jackson used a lot of music to influence the scene and the scene ahead. The music was effective because it described the tone and mood of the scene that was just shown. The camera angles were effective too because while the Hobbit was inside the cave it included many Long Shots on Bilbo and while it was pointed on Bilbo you could see what Smaug was doing at the same time. Thorin ended up being the main focus in

Bilbo didn't really want to go on the adventure and he did though. He was very lazy and took more sides of the bagons and that all has changed. He know what he was getting an to. It is good that he is showing the other said of him. That was only the start of what he is going to do.

In the end, they get the treasure from Smaug and Bilbo goes home safely. Bilbo is portrayed as a coward. Bilbo is a coward because he condescends adventures even though he has never been on one. Also, he believes that any uncomfort on the journey is unacceptable and finally, he puts on the ring and hides from battle. In the book The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins is portrayed as a coward because he condescends adventures, he believes that journeys must be lived in

Although the movies are a beautiful remake of the original book, there a quite a few distinct differences between the two. These differences can be very simple: like the fact that Gollum only has six teeth in the book and nine in the movie, or very complex: like the fact that whole new characters were added to the movie that were not originally in the book. The elves Legolas, Tauriel, and Galadriel played very prominent roles in the book in helping the dwarves and hobbit on their journey, yet they ceased to exist in the original text. Another substantial difference between the book and movies is that in the book, the dwarves and hobbit weren’t aware of Smaug leaving (or being killed for that matter) until they were alerted of this news by the crows. However, in the movie, a pretty large battle took place between the dwarves and Smaug. As far as smaller differences go, in the book the keyhole to get into Smaug’s chamber was lit by the sunset, whereas in the movie the keyhole was lit by the light of the moon; the movie showed Bard’s children and the book didn’t; and in the book it talks of Gandalf throwing pinecones lit with fires of many color, but in the book they were all one color; and the movie featured an attack

A hero also can take on the form of a mythical character. The Hobbit introduces various characters as they go on an adventure to find some lost treasure. In this novel, Tolkien introduces his readers to several characters ranging from hobbits and dwarves to elves, wizards, and goblins. Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, can be conveyed as a hero for his bold choice to go on the trip in order to help Thorin, a dwarf, regain ownership of his family’s inheritance. As Bilbo and the dwarves travel on the journey to the Mountain for the treasure, many hardships

The Hobbit is a fantasy novel, by J.R.R. Tolkien that tells the story of an unexpected story. Rather than being about a main character who is brave and noble, this story is about Bilbo Baggins, a predictable, mild-mannered hobbit. He lives in his cozy home and avoids anything out of the ordinary until he is presented with the opportunity of an adventure with Gandalf the wizard along with 13 dwarves. The goal is to take back the homeland of the dwarves from the dragon, Smaug, who has attacked and taken over. The journey entails mountains, forests, and creatures such as trolls, goblins, elves, and more. And even though no one sees much potential in the seemingly weak hobbit, Gandalf sees traits of a hero within Bilbo. This journey results in

The most important character in the Hobbit is Bilbo Baggins. The hobbit who this whole story revolves around. Without Bilbo, this marvelous adventure never would have occurred. In the beginning of our story wizard Gandalf explains to the dwarves how they need Bilbo to succeed in this adventure they are about to embark on, “you asked me to find the fourteenth man for your expedition, and I choose Mr.Baggins. Just let anyone say I chose the wrong man or the wrong house, and you can stop at thirteen and have all the bad luck you like” (Tolkien pg.22). This means that if the dwarves do not want to have Bilbo alongside them on their journey, they do not have to, they will just suffer the consequences. Bilbo also made remarkable contributions to

The Hobbit directed by Peter Jackson is a movie that lets you see how the underdog goes from being small and not noticed to becoming the hero that will bring back hope and save the day. Everyone likes a good underdog story and I for one think that The Hobbit is a perfect example of it. Throughout this movie, it slowly makes the main character Bilbo Baggins more of the light in dark and makes him become more hero like with each passing event. Throughout this movie, the tone helps to bring out the inner heroism and light in Bilbo. In the start of the movie, Bilbo gets 13 uninvited guests that show up and ask him to join them on their mission to take back their home, the Lonely Mountain. This is a very powerful scene with a very serious underlying tone to it. The scene starts off with playful banter and fun throughout the 12 dwarfs but when Thorin Oakenshield arrives the mood gets very serious by how the music changes and the interaction between characters. The music was a big hint in the serious tone since it went from more upbeat and energetic to a softer volume and slowed down a bit. The characters interactions are still friendly with each other but when confronting Bilbo they get more focused. The body language is also stiffer and less carefree when the call for help is talked about. Another scene is where Bilbo's ability to bring out some hope is when the Company has to get back there ponies from 3 mountain trolls. During this scene Bilbo has to bite back is fear of the

Thorin is a great leader and he makes me want to learn the qualities that it takes to be a leader as great as he is. Right now I am in Peer Leadership learning about the characteristics that it takes to be a leader. The loyalty that he shows to his friends is truly astounding. Through any trial they face he will make sure to get through with everyone or he will die trying. One thing that I always try to do is work with all my friends that are with me so nobody is left out. The most important trait that Thorin shows is forgiveness. In the end of the book, Bilbo steals Thorin’s grandfather’s precious stone and Thorin uses his last breath to forgive Bilbo and die happy. I like to forgive others for the mistakes they make and try not to let the problem get out of

It states here, in the chapter of Inside Information, “Already they had come to respect little Bilbo. Now he had become the real leader in their adventure. He had begun to have ideas and plans of his own” (Tolkien 221). Here, the author clearly identifies how Bilbo is suppose to be the new team leader and how he is evolving into an intimately smarter hobbit, than when he first began his journey with the dwarves. It shows how he is developing leadership skills and also getting more intelligent throughout his trip. In contrast, the movie shows how Thorin takes charge in planning and decision making (Jackson). He did this to connect the sequel, Lord Of The Ring. This was not very effective because it twists the purpose of J.R.R Tolkien’s reason for having Bilbo in the scene. The story is suppose to be mainly about how Bilbo develops a more high standard personality. In the movie, it has Thorin speaking almost all the time and Thorin making the great impacts in their times of need (Jackson). They zoom in on his face in most parts of the movie. The way Peter Jackson manipulated this scene, took away the main idea,
