The Hobbit Analysis

421 Words2 Pages

Actually this didn't go quite the way I had wanted. Originally I planned to go into much more detail about Beorn bonding with various Dwarrow and Bilbo, but that would lead to them basically having the same talk again as in the last chapter, so I tried this approach. I believe I mentioned it before, but it was Bungo’s project before, and now Bilbo tries to collect what knowledge he can about the time before the Hobbits lived in the Shire. It is actually canon that the Hobbits lived in the Valley of the Anduin, which is south of Beorn’s homestead, before the first War of the Ring forced them to move west, so I believe it's not so farfetched to believe they co-existed peacefully with the skin-changers. Also, basically since I first heard "Song of Exile" from the King Arthur Soundtrack I associated the song with "Beorn". As far as I know is the song is actually based on a celtic folk song.

Imagine your average fix-it verse. Thorin on the throne, still pale and recovering, but sane and alive. The moment he is being a stubborn and/or unreasonable ass either Dwalin or Bilbo will knock him around the head, and tell him bluntly he's an idiot. He will be all “But …” and they will give him the “Do you know how often we had to save your sorry ass in the last year alone? You don’t get to make important decisions anymore” glare. But don't even think about mocking Thorin about being whipped or something, because they are fast and vicious to turn against anyone threatening their friend. And that's mocking. If there is any hint of "real" danger, Nori and Dwalin have this really mean, violent, badass understanding. The offenders are usually not found. And that's just those three. Wait until the others get involved. Azsâlulabad will be the most stable kingdom ever, because you don't fuck with the company

  • Connections In The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug

    Paragraph #1 (Beowulf): When reading the epic Beowulf, I make a text to text connection because I notice the deep ties and similarities to the movie The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. The film was based off of J.R.R Tolkien 's novel, The Hobbit. Tolkien used Beowulf as his initial inspiration for his story, so distinct connections are easily found. For example, Beorn, a character who shapeshifts into a bear-like form, is closely related to Beowulf himself. Both of their names translate to “bear” and they have similar superhuman strength.

    By the time the Battle of the Five Armies commences, Thorin has incurred the contempt and disrespect of many of the book’s characters (and probably most readers).

    Who is your hero? When inquired on who their hero is, one would presumably answer by possibly saying their mother or perhaps even their father; however, during the sixteenth century, the country of England considered their hero to be Sir Francis Drake and in the book The Hobbit, a children’s fantasy novel written by J.R.R. Tolkien, Thorin’s dwarves were found considering Bilbo Baggins their hero multiple times. Heroes, like Sir Francis Drake and Bilbo Baggins, are made every day. Even though they are from different times and places, they all go through similar paths, or journeys, to become the great people they are extolled for being. You may ask yourself what journey do heroes take to become the greats they are.

    Michael Shermer, a science writer and historian of science said, “Humans are pattern-seeking story-telling animals, and we are quite adept at telling stories about patterns, whether they exist or not.” In J.R.R. Tolkien's novel The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, the main protagonist, joins a group of dwarves to recover their lost, forgotten gold from Smaug the dragon. Joseph Campbell’s A Hero with a Thousand Faces, he states that many legendary heros follow a pattern in their adventures. Matthew Winkler has his own ideas of the heroic quest pattern, stating the hero's follow a pattern of eleven stages. Both The Hobbit and the heroic journey have similar elements with departure, initiation and then return.

    Hobbits are known to be unassuming folk “who disappear quietly and quickly” (3). The story begins with a picture of the humdrum life of the hobbits peppered with descriptions of the mundane, from Bilbo’s house to his “enormous long wooden pipe that reached nearly down to his woolly toes (neatly brushed)” (3); Tolkien makes sure that the reader knows that Bilbo is of an unremarkable sort. Bilbo, a hobbit of Baggins and Took lineage, displays his Baggins’ side when he first hears of the wizard Gandalf’s seemingly nonchalant proposition. The Bagginses are known to be “very respectable … because they never had any adventures or did anything expected” (3). Anxious of whatsoever good a perilous undertaking would offer, and its sure likelihood of death, the gentlemanly Mr. Baggins flatly declines: “We are plain, quiet folk and have no use for adventures.
