The Hobbit: A Review Introduction The book I read and analyzed was "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien . I shall discuss the plot and character development‚ setting‚ author’s style and my opinions about it.

In the beginning there is an introduction where the author tells a bit about what is a hobbit and the hobbit’s (Bilbo) family. It is not

Thorin uses his talent of dressing words up to suggest to Bilbo that he should go into the secret passage first‚ and at the same time shirking the riskiest activities‚ forcing the small hobbit to face them instead. Thorin is too arrogant to admit that he is afraid to be harmed by anything in the secret passage‚ as

He is not adventurous as he himself admits to Gandalf at the beginning of the tale. ‘I do really wish to destroy it! cried Frodo. ‘Or‚ well‚ to have it destroyed. I am not made for perilous quests. I wish I had never seen the Ring! Why did it come to me? Why was I chosen?’ (LOTR 2011: 61) Nevertheless‚ he accepts Gandalf’s proposal. He starts his quest as a reluctant hero as we can see in the quotation above

of adventure. But once tangled into the fate of a wizard‚ one named Gandalf the Grey‚ and a company of dwarves‚ Bilbo’s opinion changed within the span of a single night. But he does more than that‚ he transforms into a hero. This story very closely follows the heroe’s journey beginning to end except where a few steps come out of the usual order.
