Gollum wouldn't help him find his way out, he just wanted to eat Bilbo. When bilbo found the ring he was invisible and could escape from the goblins and Gollum who wanted to kill him. The ring saved Bilbo's life so he could return to the dwarves and help the, get their kingdom back. "Slipping in and out of the shadows of the trees, running quick and quiet, and keeping out of the sun; so soon they went back grumbling and cursing to guard the door. Bilbo had escape," pg. 84.

By looking at the development between Odysseus and Bilbo, the hero with the greater hero on the inside is probably Odysseus. Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit, half the size of a regular man, loves food, drinks, and security like a normal hobbit. However, Bilbo’s life dramatically changed when Gandalf enlists Bilbo’s help in Thorin’s journey for the treasure under the mountain. Throughout the story, Bilbo begins a process of gradual development, transforming from a cautious homebody at the beginning, to a brave and confident hero at the end. During the journey, Bilbo shows a side to him that is cunning and strong and slowly becomes the commanding force holding the group of dwarves together. He saves them from the goblins by shouting for Gandalf; he then rescues them from spiders and wood elves in Mirkwood. Bilbo finds the way into the mountain, he leads them to the treasure, he discovers Smaug’s weak spot, and he tries to prevent Thorin’s greed and to bring peace to the fighting dwarves, elves, and humans. It’s true that Bilbo has gone through a lot and has gone through a huge change from being a hobbit. Odysseus also went through a quest but his challenges were much longer and they all led to knowing to obey and not fall into temptation. Just because his crew members were curious and didn’t listen to their captains orders, they all died and Odysseus was left all alone. This was a key point to Odysseus being the better hero because he got to his goal by himself but Bilbo on the other side got help from his team members. In his journey, Odysseus found out more about himself and was able to pass through the obstacles without falling into temptation and at the end found his way back home to make everything right, how things were before he left, but as a hero inside and…
As George F. Kennan said “Heroism is endurance for one moment more”.Bilbo Baggins fought one more time every time he finished an act of bravery from fighting trolls to stealing a treasure from Smaug’s horde. He was a hero in his own way and with that said Bilbo himself turned into a heroic person and in many eyes a hero of great…
The first way Bilbo overcomes evil is by luck. For example, when Bilbo is caught by the goblins and he awakens from his fall he finds a ring. Now this ring was no ordinary ring for it was a magical one that could turn a person invisible and without it the story might have been very different. This is because if Bilbo did not have it, then he would never have been able to escape from the evil creature Gollum and inturn escape from the hell which was the home of the evil and nasty goblins. Another time luck saved Bilbo and his friends, was when Bilbo and company were on the mountain and were looking for the hidden door that would lead them right to Smaug and the treasure. Here luck played a big part because if Bilbo had never happened to find the door then all the trouble that Bilbo and his friends had already gone through would have been for nothing.…
Let’s start with comparing the main characters, Bilbo and Beowulf. Bilbo was a small hobbit, “About half our height, and smaller than bearded dwarves” (Tolkein, 2) and Beowulf was a great big man with enormous strength, “He was the strongest of men alive in that day” (Beowulf, 180). Obviously they are total opposites. One big one small. One thing that is the same size though, is their hearts they both have big hearts and are brave. Beowulf is probably a tad bit more brave but Bilbo is close behind. Both characters set out on a quest or adventure. Beowulf to kill the dreaded beast Grendel and Bilbo to slay the notorious dragon Smaug. They are both very successful with the task that was presented ahead of them. Beowulf kills Grendel. Bilbo aids in the killing of Smaug and to regain the stolen treasure for his companion Thorin Oakenshield. The two heroes were not on their quests for the same reasons though. Beowulf had heroism for his reasoning on making the journey to Hrothgar’s kingdom to slay Grendel. Bilbo was kind of tricked into going on his adventure and had nothing but greed on his little hobbit mind. They got a lot more than they anticipated on their journeys. They both had to battle unexpected foes. Bilbo probably had the worst of the two. He had to battle trolls, goblins, Gollum, wargs, spiders, wood elves, and then on top of all those nasty creatures throw in a fire breathing…
