Examples Of Weakness In The Hobbit

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.

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.

However, after the riddle game, Gollum go back to his island to get his precious golden ring that make him go invisible. It was ring of power that if you try to slip the ring on your finger, it will make you go invisible. However, he couldn’t find it in the island. There, Gollum families over his “precious,” a magic ring until he accidentally loses it which Bilbo end up finding it.
