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.


How do you characterize Dain the hobbit?

Dain only has a small part in the book, but from what we see, he seems honorable. He made peace with the elves, shows respect to his departed cousin, became king, and went through with the previous deal to share treasure with Bard and the elves.


What did Bilbo have that made it possible to deal with bard?

Why doesn't Gandalf think Thorin believes that Thorin is being a good King Under the Mountain in the hobbit?

Yes, the narrator says that Gandalf “had not expected this sudden assault,” but he tells the others that it “has come more swiftly than I guessed,” and knows who is leading the attack. (It’s interesting the way the narrator resolutely refuses to claim knowledge of Gandalf’s thoughts, saying things like “How much Gandalf knew cannot be said.”) So since he knew that goblins and wargs were on their way, you would think he might want to tell them earlier and suggest that they should wait on fighting each other lest they do all the goblins’ work for them, yeah? As it is, Gandalf’s “jump in front of charging dwarves” solution is very dramatic but not very sensible. Moving back to the start of the chapter, I again thought Gandalf’s actions were suboptimal. Yes, he was able to keep Thorin from throwing Bilbo over the wall, but what if Thorin’s first reaction had been to stab Bilbo in the neck? Hard for even magic to deal with that. One possibly better option would have been for Gandalf to do the talking from the start. He might have had a better chance at snapping Thorin out of it—he certainly couldn’t do worse than Bard, who backs Thorin into a corner when he asks, “Is there then nothing for which you would yield any of your gold?”, before revealing the Arkenstone, and then fuels Thorin’s anger by not answering Thorin’s question about how they got the Arkenstone. Of course, Gandalf seems to be acting in agreement with Bard, holding up the Arkenstone right on cue, so maybe he wouldn’t have been a better choice.

What were two of the prices paid for Bilbo's belongings in The Hobbit?

There really isn't a specific price listed. The things sold for 'next to nothing' to 'old songs.' Bilbo had to buy back a great deal of his own property.


Why did Gandalf leave Thorin and Company?

He did not abandon the Dwarves in Mirkwood. He had to help handle the problem of the Necromancer in the south part of Mirkwood. This was necessary because, when he had infiltrated the Necromancer's fortress, Dol Guldur, and found Thorin's father, he had found out that the Necromancer was indeed the Dark Lord Sauron, taking shape again.Gandalf, along with the rest of the White Council, were afraid that Sauron would take notice of the great Dragon living just to the East of his fortress and form an alliance with Smaug, who was, perhaps, the last of the Dragons with the old fire. And so, while the Dwarves and Bilbo dealt with Smaug, Gandalf and others of the White Council attacked Dol Guldur, only to find that Sauron had fled (presumably back to Mordor, since that is where he is in LOTR).
