Elrond, strictly speaking, does not *say* anything about dwarves' love of gold or the wickedness of dragons. We are given a look at his thoughts on these in the following passage from The Hobbit " A Short Rest."

"He took it [Thorin's map] and gazed long at it, and he shook his head; for if he did not altogether approve of dwarves and their love of gold, he hated dragons and their cruel wickedness..."

What were Gandalfs final cautionary words as he bade farewell to the dwarves and Bilbo?

Gandalf said "Good-bye! Be good, take care of yourselves-and DON'T LEAVE THE PATH!"


Why does Gandalf not find a hero for the dwarves?

The wood elves capture the dwarves for trespassing in their lands without permission. They would have captured Bilbo too, if not for the fact that he was wearing a magical ring that made him invisible.


What does Bilbo name his memories in The Hobbit?

If Tolkien's words on the subject are to be taken at face value, then The Hobbit, Or There and Back Again are Bilbo's memoirs -- his account of his great Adventure. In the final chapter of The Return of the King, it says this: "There was a big book with plain red leather covers; its tall pages were now almost filled. At the beginning there were many leaves covered with Bilbo's thin wandering hand; but most of it was written in Frodo's firm flowing script...The title page had many titles on it, crossed out one after another so: My Diary. My Unexpected Journey. There and Back Again. And What Happened After. Adventures of Five Hobbits. The Tale of the Great Ring, compiled by Bilbo Baggins from his own observations and the accounts of his friends. What We Did in the War of the Ring. "Here Bilbo's hand ended and Frodo had written: THE DOWNFALL OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS AND THE RETURN OF THE KING (as seen by the Little People; being the memoirs of Bilbo and Frodo of the Shire, supplemented by the accounts of their friends and the learnings of the Wise.) Together with extracts from Books of Lore translated by Bilbo in Rivendell." In The Return of the King film, Sam is heard referring to Bilbo's memoirs as There and Back Again: A Hobbit's Tale by Bilbo Baggins. In short, The Hobbit is the "memoirs" of Bilbo, and The Lord of the Rings the memoirs of Frodo.


How many times are the words dwarf and dwarves used in The Hobbit?

Too many times to count, and I doubt that anyone has ever tried. Unless they are dwarf-crazy, which I doubt...


What definition of hero does Tolkien establish through the actions and words and thoughts of Bilbo Baggins?

In presenting Bilbo as his hero, Tolkien was to a certain extent reacting to the overblown romanticised heroes of classic romance. Bilbo's values are very practical and down-to-earth. He (as all hobbits do) values peace, and comfort and good living. He therefore opposes Thorin's preference to make war on his neighbours rather than help them in their time of need. He even goes so far as to steal the Arkenstone to ensure that peace. His practicality is shown in his refusal of a share of the treasure so enormous that he could not possibly get it back to the Shire. But Bilbo is a hero all right. When the chips are down, and Gandalf has gone off to fight Sauron (called the Necromancer in the Hobbit), it is Bilbo who saves the dwarves' bacon. He shows courage, fighting skills, and ingenuity and is not deterred by extraordinary hardships and danger, yet he is not in love with the danger or with himself as a hero. All he really wanted was to get back to his hole in Hobbiton and put his feet up. Tolkien may have been reflecting on the kind of heroism shown by many of the soldiers in the First World War (his contemporaries), ordinary men who showed remarkable courage when put in a tight spot.
