The Bilbo Baggins Character Analysis

Many of the great heroes like Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and Desmond Doss all had a powerful influence not only on the lives of those directly affected by them but also by those who have heard stories of their courage and persistence. In The Hobbit, while many of the characters inspire Bilbo, the hobbit’s influence on the others is more prevalent. For example, perhaps the character Bilbo Baggins has the greatest influence on is Thorin Oakenshield. At the start of their journey and after defeating Smaug, Thorin’s greatest enemies are greed and pride. But near the end of the novel shortly before his death, a major change occurs in him.

Grendel’s head was so hard to move that it “was no easy matter for those courageous men, bold as kings, to carry the head away from the cliff” (pg. 54). Instead of getting treasures for the Danes or even his own people, he brings back Grendel’s head that provides no real gain other than a symbol of how courageous and heroic he was. Beowulf does this because he had remorse for not delivering Grendel’s dead body to the Danes, but also because he wanted to ensure that stories of his courageous acts and god-like heroism spreads among rapidly among a vast number of people and

The narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of the characters, also known as omniscient, which helps the reader identify the isolation Griffin puts himself in. Griffin is an experimental investigator and he was fascinated by being invisible and what he could do that visible people could not do, for instance, fraud or crime with little to no repercussions. After prosperously testing his procedure on a feline he tested it on himself. From Griffin’s point of view, becoming invisible would be freeing from the state he was in, albino. Being an albino had multiple setbacks because people were more fascinated by his rare condition and less intrigued by knowing him as a person.

A Hero is a person who is admired or idealized for courage, or noble qualities; i,e Brave, Adventurous, and Honest.Bilbo’s journey closely resembles the Hero’s Journey because he shows the characteristics of an ordinary hero while still being extraordinary in the same process.As Bilbo follows the Hero’s Journey he has become extraordinary. Bilbo has become extraordinary during his refusal to call because he was going to prove that he could do it even if he wasn't adventurous in the beginning. After being proposed an adventure Bilbo replies with ”Sorry! I don’t want any adventures, thank you; Good Morning!, We don’t want any adventures here, Thank you!”(Tolkien 6-7). This proves that Bilbo in the beginning of the story was not welcome

This is a major turning point in the book because it is the first instance in Bilbo’s life that he actually has to be brave. However, this results in the entire group of dwarves, as well as Bilbo, in danger. This shows Bilbo that being brave requires one to think, and that being bold doesn’t

Beowulf’s bravery is shown throughout the whole story. For example, when he decides to fight Grendel without any weapons seeing as how Grendel does not attack and kill with weapons. This shows much bravery and as he said in the story “My hands/alone shall fight for me, struggle for life/ against the monster.” (Raffel, 267-270) Beowulf here is talking about how he will fight Grendel with his own bare hands seeing as it will be a fair fight. Beowulf’s bravery makes him refuse when people suggest for someone else to fight the dragon because of his old age. He says with great pride he will face the dragon and not run away “I feel no shame, with shield and sword/ and armor against the monster: when he comes to me/I mean to stand, not run from his shooting flames.” Beowulf feels no shame in using his armor to defeat the dragon.

As he grew closer to the source of the light, the sent continued to grow stronger.

Second, his friends that give support and add more features to the character.
