What do you think about the fairness of Thorin's decision to send Bilbo to investigate the light in the Hobbit?
Umm i think it was fair because gandalf told thoron that bilbo was a burgaler and hes probably the least important to thorin
What is Bilbo and Gollum's game?
Bilbo said, talking to himself, "what have i got in my pocket?" (it was the Ring). Gollum thought it was a riddle and Bilbo decided to make it one. he gave Gollum three chances to guess and gollum lost after four. then gollum went "to get something" (it was the ring), and Bilbo thought he was abandoned and left with the ring on. Gollum thought Bilbo knew the way out and he wanted to follow him, realizing Bilbo had the ring. Bilbo saw Gollum racing towards the gate and followed him to safety.
'No great leap for a man but a leap in the dark' discuss this quotation with respect to Bilbo's decision not to kill Gollum and his new found courage?
For one thing, to my recollection, Bilbo never decidedthat he wouldn't kill Gollum. I don't think the thought barely crossed his mind. Although he did have a little bit of new found courage, which was probably the result of his discovering the magical Ring. "No great leap for a man, but a leap in the dark." It doesn't seem to have much metaphorical meaning behind it. Bilbo made an attempt to leap over Gollum, who was sitting in the middle of the path. Of coursre it was no great leap for a man -- Bilbo was no man, he was a three-foot-and-a-half-tall hobbit. And it was definitely a leap in the dark, the pitch black dark.
Is The Hobbit man vs society?
There is more than one conflict in The Hobbit. The conflict with society would be with the river elves or Bilbo interactions with the dwarves as a group. But there is man vs man, man vs society, man vs enviroment
Who surprises Bilbo and what does he foreshadow?
