The ring has a consciousness of its own. The ring knew that Frodo was going to take it to be destroyed, whereas the one ring abandoned Gollum as it knew that Gollum would never return it to Sauron. The ring used Bilbo as a carrier or a vector.

∙ 8y agoThere are several different theories in this regard, such as (1) that Sauron's pull on the Ring was stronger while Frodo was in possession, (2) that Frodo's intent to destroy the Ring created a greater antagonism with the Ring, (3) that Frodo's proximity to Mordor and Sauron's forces made the Ring more intent to control Frodo to take the Ring to nearby enemies.
There is also the external-to-the-books view that when Tolkien wrote "The Hobbit", he had not actually conceived of Bilbo's Ring as the "Ring of Sauron" and the mythos of the "Ring of Sauron" only developed when Tolkien was writing "Lord of the Rings".

What is the conflict of The Lord of the Rings the Fellowship of the Ring?
The main conflict can be seen as the struggle to get the Ring destroyed and to keep Sauron from getting it. The first volume, Fellowship of the Ring, is mostly an account of a journey, and the conflict is with obstacles between the protagonists and the destination. These obstacles include, but are not limited to: -Black Riders -An evil forest -Evil tomb spirits -More Black Riders -Bitterly cold and snowy weather -Wolves -A monster in a lake -Lots of orcs -A Balrog, a being of fire and shadow -Lots more orcs It should also be noted that there is also a less physical and more internal conflict: the struggle to resist the power of the Ring. The ring wants to get back to Sauron, and tries to poison the minds of those near it, so the protagonists must be constantly resisting its lure.
Why does Frodo buy a house in Crickhollow?
So that he could give a straight answer to his neighbors and friends when they asked him why and where he was going. It created less suspicion amongst the gossipers of Hobbiton. That way, Frodo could just set out on his journey from there, away from all the peering eyes, and creep away quietly, without causing a big scene. Merry Brandybuck helped him pick out the house.
Why does Thorin give Bilbo a coat of Mithril?
Because during the unexpected party, Thorin promised Bilbo 1/14th payment of the treasure in return for Bilbo's services as a 'thief'. Though Bilbo did not do much in the way of being a thief, he did save the dwarves from Thranduil, as well as help them gain entrance into the mountain. They also wanted him on the journey because it would have been unlucky to take on their journey with 13 members. At the end of their adventures, Bilbo had obviously earned his 1/14th share, so Thorin fulfilled his promise and sent Bilbo home with a chest of treasure (though it is hinted later on in LotR that Bilbo ended up receiving more).

It's attractive. The ring is perfectly crafted gold, but not only the physical characteristics were appealing, the ring is magic! It wanted Gollum to be the ring-bearer, and that he would submit to its every evil desire.
Why did Frodo pity Gollum?
Frodo realized how the Ring of Sauron was destroying him and his nature with less than a year of serious exposure and could empathize with a creature like Gollum who was once a Hobbit but had 500 years over which the Ring of Sauron destroyed him. Frodo's understanding of Gollum's pain derived from the Ring of Sauron is what leads to this pity.

How old was Frodo when he left the Shire on the journey?
He had just turned 50 years old the day before. He was born September 22nd 1368 SR and left the Shire with the Ring on September 23rd 1418 SR. (SR as in Shire Reckoning.) A 50 years old hobbit would be like about 30 years old human in looks and mental aging. However, possessing The One Ring had stopped Frodo's physical aging and so he still looked like a 33 years old hobbit (as in around 20 years old human - in both cases like someone just out of his tweens) in which age he was when Bilbo left the Ring for him. The Quest lasted for less than a year and after it Fodo remained in Middle-Earth for some 3 years, so when he left the Shire to the Gray Havens, he was around 54 years old but still looked very young though the Ring existed no more. The age just hadn't caught up with him yet.
