Who was Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit?
Thror was the grandfather of Thorin, the leader of the dwarves in the adventure. It was Thror that made the map that they used to find the 'back door' to the mountain. Thror also passed the key to the door along with the map to his son Thrain. These were given to Gandalf, who gave them to Thorin. Thror also possessed one of the Seven Dwarven Rings of Power, but when he entered Moria he handed it to Thrain.
What is the red light in The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien?
{| |- | The 'red light' appeared several times in The Hobbit. The first time it was the fire that the trolls were sitting around. The next red light was the fires of the Goblins under the mountain. Another was Smaug, the dragon. And red light came out of the eyes of the dwarves being led by Thorin in the Battle of the Five Armies. |}
Why did Bilbo take the Arkenstone in The Hobbit?
He is hoping that the desire for the Arkenstone would force Thorin to negotiate with the Men and Elves instead of fighting with them.Bilbo believes that if the men and elves have the Arkenstone, which Thorin values even more than gold, they may be able to convince the dwarves to bargain with them. If an agreement can be reached, it will spare a good deal of bloodshed.Also, Bilbo is getting quite tired of being trapped in the mountain, and wants to be somewhere with green grass underfoot and better meals.
Who stops Thorin from attacking Bilbo in the hobbit?
Thorin's advance is stopped a few obstacles. Bolg's guardian stops it first, then the valley tries to widen and surround them, and finally, there is an army of wargs and orcs that come to stop the advance.
Who put the dwarves in prison for being rude in The Hobbit?
The Elven-king, Thranduil, who ruled the Woodland Elves (Northern part of Mirkwood Forest) put Thorin and Company in prinson. Elves and Dwarves have distrusted each other ever since the First Age (The Hobbit is set toward the end of the Third Age), so Thranduil was not kindly disposed toward Thorin's Company. Thorin further angered Thranduil by refusing to tell him either his name or his business, because Thorin didn't trust Thranduil either.
