Gollum

outsmarted Gollum and found the magic ring. When he does this, Gollum goes to look for it, but Bilbo follows him to see if he can lead him to the exit. Then later on, the dwarves get captured by the spiders and Bilbo saves them. This changes his thought process because he used to not even hear the word dragon and he just saved his entire group from the giant spiders.

as I mentioned in the second paragraph, when Bilbo meets Gollum, it is also a turning point in the novel in which Bilbo finds Gollum’s ring which has the ability to make you invisible. At the time, Bilbo is unsure of the ability of the ring, but decides to hide it from Gollum using his wit and sneakiness. Gollum realizes his ring is missing and starts suspecting Bilbo as stealing it. “What has it got in it’s nasty little pockets?” Gollum will not let Bilbo go until he beats him in a riddle challenge

Bilbo Baggins, An Unlikely Hero “Heroes are made by the path they choose, not the powers they are graced with” (Ashton, 92). Specific characteristics come to mind when one envisions are hero, such as extraordinary strength and great courage. Heroes most commonly receive recognition for notable talents and remembered for their astonishing deeds and accomplishments. For example, Superman possesses superhuman strength, speed, and the ability to fly, qualities most frequently associated with heroes

There are many patterns in this world, and as people go through life and experience things that most humans do, mankind adheres to many of them. These patterns are called archetypes, and we see many of them portrayed in novels or film. By looking at the Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers directed by Peter Jackson, one can see that the film follows many of the character and symbolic patterns that have stayed constant through millions of years, two of which are the lost soul archetype, and the light

Another example is when Bilbo puts on the ring and follows Gollum after he doesn’t see him, I feel like most people would try to go the opposite way that Gollum would be going so they don’t interfere with each other, but Bilbo realizes what the ring does so he isn’t scared. The last example is when Bilbo jumps over Gollum's head, Bilbo follows Gollum to the exit of the cave and when Gollum gets there he just sits there and weeps about how he lost his ring, most people would

The definition of a hero is an individual, man or woman, in which he or she exhibits immense courage, fortitude, and being humble. In today 's culture, one might think of Batman or Wolverine as heroes, however, in J.R.R Tolkien 's The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins redefines the entirety of the definition of a hero and deemed like no other. Throughout his adventure across middle-earth with the dwarves, Bilbo exemplifies several of these qualities. In contrast to both Norse and Anglo conceptions of heroism

The bold decisions one makes are ultimately decided by their ability to be daring and intelligent. In the novel The Hobbit, a fantasy tale written by J.R.R Tolkien in 1937, follows the treacherous journey made by a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins and his many friends. He and his friends make the trek through middle earth to recover lost treasure that was stolen by Smaug, a huge fire breathing dragon. Bilbo Baggins uses his cleverness and heroic capabilities to help assist on his valiant journey. Bilb

This war only lasted a day, but like Thorin and Gollum, the effect was brutal to those who fought. ‘“This is a bitter adventure, if it must end so; not a mountain of gold can amend it.”’(page 262). This quote was said by Bilbo when he was saying goodbye to Thorin before he died. Bilbo participated in

4. Based on Gollum and Bilbo’s attitude, it can be easily identified that neither of them have any intention of honouring their agreements, especially Gollum. Although Bilbo says he would allow Gollum to eat him if he loses the game, he desperately wanted to stay alive. This is shown in the quote “…nearly bursting his brain to think of riddles that could save him from being eaten.” (pg. 97). In the beginning of the game, Gollum promises that if he is defeated, he will

The Hobbit Hero In the book The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, a normal hobbit, becomes a hero of the story, but how is he a hero? What is a hero? At the start of the book, Bilbo was just like every hobbit that doesn’t like adventure. But Gandalf, one of the most extraordinary wizards in the world, pushes Bilbo to become a hero. So the three scenes which I think show that Bilbo is a hero is when he tries to pickpocket the trolls, when he finds the Ring of Invisibility, and when he finds a way to free him
