Who Is Kubbo A Hero

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.

Bilbo’s journey fits into the tradition of a hero’s quest, because he basically went somewhere in order to gain something.

Many science fiction fantasy novels have a hero or heroine. In J.R.R Tolkien’s novel the hobbit Bilbo Baggins is a hero, Even though he finds a ring of invisibility that allows him to preform surprising feats. Some of his acts of heroism are when Bilbo make his first attempt at burglary when he steals from the trolls, when he creates a plan to free his friends from the ElvenKing and follows it through and when he goes down to visit Smaug for the first time to fulfill a promise.

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.

In J.R.R.Tolkien’s The Hobbit, the reader is taken through a parable that follows Bilbo Baggins on the ‘Hero’s Journey.’ This fantasy classic begins with an ‘everyman’ hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, who takes on a perilous journey to reclaim the dwarves’ homeland, The Lonely Mountain. After being spurred into action by Gandalf, the herald and mentor figure, Bilbo finds himself going on a pernicious venture that contradicts his docile nature, pushing him to play the role of

Bilbo forgot about the dangers, about his old home, about his rewards, he just wanted to help, and the fearless Bilbo was brought out of him. Courage is a hard thing for a person to acquire, but can be obtained by their achievements and failures.

What is a hero? Is it someone who possesses great strength and bravery, or is it someone who attains fame and wealth? In the world of Middle Earth that J.R.R Tolkien has created, Bilbo Baggins shows us that a hero can be quite the opposite. He is offered (and partially set up by Gandalf the wizard) to partake in an adventure as a burglar to help reclaim the bearded Dwarves’ homeland from the dragon Smaug. The little hobbit is frightened by the mere thought of danger, but the adventure in him ignites and causes him to agree. Through a series of events, Tolkien uses Bilbo’s characterization and ethics to portray the overall theme of heroism.

Although hard at times Bilbo still perseveres, but with help along the way. Gandalf was Bilbo’s mentor or supernatural helper. Gandalf guides Bilbo along his journey and helps him in any way he can like when Gandalf helped Bilbo defeat the trolls. After the sun turns the trolls into stone the dwarves, Gandalf, and Bilbo raided the trolls cave and found Sting(as well as Glamdring and Orcrist). Sting is Bilbo’s sword that was made by elves long ago.

As the adventure continues, Bilbo shows a vast amount of inner strength slowly become the main force holding the group of the 13 dwarves together. From saving the dwarves from the goblins, to rescuing them from spiders, his heroism is what keeps the dwarves and the adventure alive. He was the one who found the way into the mountain leading the dwarves to the treasure. He also discovered Smaug’s (the dragon) weak spot which allows them to obtain the treasure. Not to mention helping the dwarves escape from the palace by putting them in barrels into the river and floating them to safety.

Hobbits and heroes have very little in common besides the letter H. A hero shows great strength, courage, and is admired by all. A hobbit, well shows just a short, calm, and simple life person.

There are many characters in this novel that fit my description of a hero and left me an awe of how amazing they were, but only two stood out to me the most.

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 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.

As Elrond observes the moon letters he reads, "stand by the grey stone when the thrush knocks, and the setting sun with the last night of Durin's day will shine upon the key hole." (Tolkien 53) . just as the maps authors had predicted there was a key hole that appeared to Bilbo granting him entrance into the mountain.

Now, Bilbo was out of the Wood Elves kingdom, and looking at the dark and uncanny forest ahead of him, Mirkwood. Bilbo had passed through this forest before, but not so easily, and not alone. He had to go inside the forest for hope of finding food, because at this point, all the elves are off-duty, and the gate wasn’t going to be used until the sun had risen in the morning, and the hunters set out for food. So, he started his unsettling journey through Mirkwood.
