Gollum In The Hobbit

Gandalf is a character in the hobbit series, he is the main mastermind behind the dwarves mission, he is a very powerful wizard that helps guide Bilbo and the whole company through emanate danger.

When most people think of J.R.R. Tolkien, they often think of his great imagination and his world of great dragons, warriors, orcs, hobbits, wizards, dwarves and elves. But most people forget about the deeper meaning behind his stories and his controversy towards society. Tolkien was a British, fantasy, writer during the mid-1900s. Through his love of languages, religion, and country, J.R.R Tolkien’s works of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are controversial but masterpieces because Tolkien represents “good” as a fuller, more imaginative reality than evil.

Thesis: In The Hobbit, Tolkien wants to show the reader that anyone, from any background can step up to a challenge, and be extraordinary rather than ordinary.

“I am glad you are here with me, here at the end of all things, Sam.” Frodo reaches out his hand over the flaming mouth of Mount Doom. The ring slips from his fingers and into the flames. The world returns to where it was before the evil eye had taken over. The Lord of the Rings chronicles the journey of Frodo Baggins to destroy the ring. It follows his transformation from a weak young hobbit to a hero who saves Middle Earth. Frodo is an archetypal hero because he follows the hero’s journey.

The book, The Hobbit, follows the archetype of the hero’s journey. In the story, Bilbo Baggins is compelled to leave his ordinary hobbit life and join a band of dwarves and a wizard to reclaim the Lonely Mountain and its treasures from Smaug, the evil dragon who stole it from Thorin’s ancestors. Breaking away from a monotonous life was proving to be a difficult task for the tiny hero. He had to learn how to live life as an adventurer. He also had to come to terms and adjust to a normal life once his journey was over. The Hobbit is a major example of the hero’s journey.

Bilbo encountered Gollum in a cave located in the depths of the Misty Mountains near Goblin-town. Gollum was a Stoor Hobbit of the River-folk. He wasn’t just a test, but also an enemy of Bilbo. Gollum had a riddle battle with Bilbo, which both Bilbo and Gollum would have to solve alternatively. If Bilbo wins, Gollum would tell him the way out. Prior to that, Bilbo obtained the Ring; this Ring helps Bilbo escape from Gollum. Gollum called the Ring his “birthday present.” Gollum realizes that Bilbo stole the ring, and would get it back at any cost. Bilbo didn’t know what the ring did until he wore it, it made him invisible. Bilbo quickly escaped and found the way out. But he didn’t realize there were goblins. Bilbo also eluded them, but little he knew, the dwarves were there too. He finally reunited with the dwarves and Gandalf; they were so pleased to see he was alive. When Bilbo told his mates about how him being a young hobbit, succeeded to escape Gollum. Everyone began to praise him. The dwarves started to respect him a great deal more after he said to them that he dodged all the guards and escaped Gollum. This test showed Bilbo how

In J.R.R Tolkien's Lord of the Rings Trilogy, the character of Gollum has quickly proven to be the single most important character to the plot. This is due partly to his role in the destruction of the One Ring; but more to do with the themes associated with the character of Gollum. Gollum, despite being a disgusting and repulsive creature who had entered the story later than most other characters, embodies the strongest allegory in the entire trilogy. Gollum is an allegory for the depravity of Man because he puts all of his focus on a physical object with absolutely no eternal value, Gollum's devotion to the One Ring led to major physical and mental transformations, and Gollum's eventual obsession with the One Ring brought about the terrible

In the novel the hobbit ,there is a character named gollum his importance in the book is very high.. Gollum is kind of wierd,and he talks to himelf. In the chapter It shows what kind of character gollum is,and how bilbo got the rings with many powers. In the novel There are three resons why gollum is important. The first is what if gollum makes another suprise apperance,the second is it sowed some of the creepy chracters in the hobbit,and somehting caould happen to gollum thoe are the three reason why gollums impotance is high in the noe the hobbit.

Heroes are usually known as the brave, strong, and popular characters in a story. That is not how Bilbo Baggins is in the story, The Hobbit. Bilbo Baggins is a character who usually sits at his house while smoking his pipe. Nonetheless, he becomes a hero by saving the dwarves out of the spider’s web, rescuing the dwarves out of jail, and hiding the dwarves from the elves. Which helps him on the journey that he was currently on.

Gollum does not set a good example of consideration of others, which is a very important trait. Murat Arslan describes Gollum in an article: “This fierce creature who is obsessed with himself and plans to eat Bilbo.” (139) “[Bilbo] must get away, out of this horrible darkness, while he had any strength left. He must fight. He must stab the foul thing, put its eyes out, kill it.

Soon later in the book Bilbo starts to do thing to the attacking for, as it chapters progress in the book, that is after the group escape from the goblins, Bilbo get knock in the head while he was being carried in the getaway thus leaving him alone in the dark. As he wake up alone trying to look for an escape route him comes across a ring and keeps it; soon after he is found by gollum, and they booth play a game of riddles, as bilbo try his hard to not lose to gollum so he won't get eaten. Gollum trys to cheat his way in by looking for the ring, soon after he discovers it's been

This earns Bilbo some respect from the dwarves as they begin to realize that he is a beneficial asset to their group. Soon after a threatening thunderstorm occurs which renders Bilbo unconscious in a cave. Later when he awakes, Bilbo finds a ring which he absent-mindedly pockets. Bilbo uses quick-wit and bravery to outsmart Gollum, a creature who lives in the cave, in a game of riddles. Afterwards, when Gollum attempts to kill him, Bilbo uses his new ring to elude the creature by turning invisible and escaping this demonstrates Bilbo's newfound

Many people have distinct personalities, whether they are adventurous, or don’t enjoy getting out of their comfort zone. This can be somewhat annoying, whether you want your friend to do something and he won’t do it, or if your friends are always gone on some lengthy adventure. In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins is usually a person who loves to stay indoors all the time, until the dwarves and Gandalf came along. Bilbo then begins to show his Tookish side (the more adventurous side of himself and his family) much more frequently. This side has shone through Bilbo when the dwarves sang their song, when moon letters were discovered on the map, and when with his life on the line, he and gollum played the riddle game.

Gollum is more of a self-centered creature. All he cares about is the ring and will do anything to get it. As the reader we can see that Gollum is smart for accepting the chance to lead Frodo and Sam because he has the upper hand. He knows the territory he is about to lead Sam and Frodo into, while they do not. The reader knows that Gollum plans to overpower Sam and Frodo and steal the ring when he says “We promised: to save our precious, not to let Him have it-never”(Tolkien 283).

Gollum has a very different and scary personality that most people would be scared of. He has a very high pitched voice and it squeaks and is very annoying and loud. He always talks to himself and calls the ring he has “precious” or “my precious” no one knows why. I think it is because he has gone mentally insane.
