no difference in J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel The Hobbit. The main antagonist Smaug‚ a Dragon‚ and the lesser antagonist‚ Gollum‚ both share similar traits to fit the author’s definition of evil.

Despite being a hobbit‚ Frodo Baggins is a modern example of an epic hero. He embodies the values of the hobbits by living a simple life‚ yet he risks that life when he sets out on a great quest to save Middle Earth. A true hero should not be judged by his supernatural strength but by the size of their heart and willingness to give up his life to save the world.
