Examples Of Bilbo In The Hobbit

One of the ways Bilbo shows leadership is when he saves the dwarves from the Wood-elves. Since Bilbo put on his ring of invisibility when the dwarves were caught, he was free to roam around the halls of the Elvenking 's dungeon. One day he stumbled upon a little stream that goes out into the open. When Bilbo discovered this, “He sat and thought about the water-gate, and how it could be used to help escape his friends,”(177). This showed his responsibility because he didn’t give up when they were caught, he explored his options and eventually found a way to save everyone.

The second conflict is when Bilbo meets a hungry crazed creature named Gollum. Bilbo gets lost and comes across a dangerous creature who wants to eat him, named Gollum. Bilbo strikes a deal with Gollum that if he can stump him with a riddle, Gollum has to lead Bilbo back to the dwarves, and if Bilbo loses Gollum gets to eat Bilbo. Bilbo resolves his man vs man conflict by tricking Gollum with an especially difficult riddle, and using an invisibility ring that he stole from Gollum, to fool Gollum into showing him the exit.
