Bilbo can see that he and the dwarves are about to be overwhelmed by the Spiders and decides he has to disappear in front of them. After they get away the dwarves are bewildered by his turning invisible and must have the story of his escape from Gollum again. Balin in particular feels he is owed an explanation because Bilbo made him look bad earlier when he snuck past Balin on guard.

Because he is unsure of what the dwarves would think of him if he told. He learns that he has already proven himself enough and that it is extremely important to have trust within the group.

Why does Bilbo not tell his friends about the magic ring?

He was so pleased by their praise at the way that he so cleverly snuck into the camp without being seen, that he decided to keep the Ring out of it for a while.


Does Gandalf tell the dwarves that Bilbo is a spy?

When? At the beginning, Gandalf the Grey chats to Bilbo saying he is looking for someone to go on an adventure. Bilbo, being timid at the start, is a little rude to Gandalf, but invites him to afternoon tea. Gandalf laughs and with his staff marks the front door "burglar for hire, etc". Later a knock on the door and after a while 13 dwarfs and Gandalf are in Bilbo's Bag End residence: Dwalin, Balin, Fili, Kili, Gloin, Oin, Ori, Nori, Dori, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin Oakenshield. During the adventure Bilbo is separated numerous times from the dwarfs, and aids them in their escapades with his new found confidence and bravery and his magical ring.

Why are the dwarves hated in The Hobbit and The Hobbit DoS?

How does Bilbo feel about the treasure and the dragon's den?

J.R.R Tolkien writes "Bilbo had heard tell and sing of dragon-hoards before, but the splendour, the lust, the glory of such treasure had never yet come home to him. His heart was filled and pierced with enchantment and with the desire of dwarves; and he gazed motionless, almost forgetting the frightful guardian, at the gold beyond price and count" From this we can summarize that Bilbo was absolutely taken aback from the wondrous sights he sees. J.R.R Tolkien also writes that Bilbo gazed upon the dragon and treasure "for what seemed an age" in my opinion he felt a certain thrill from this sight. Hope that helps!
