Bilbo Symbolism In The Hobbit
In the book The Hobbit, Tolkien uses the golden ring as symbolism, revealing actions, and inner thinking to interpret Bilbo’s drive. Do you think this “ring” will effect Bilbo in a negative or positive way?
In the beginning of the book, the main character Bilbo Baggins was not was not much of a hero. Bilbo's life before the ring was very besotted. He was much like the other hobbits.

When these qualities came into play he stayed humbled. He never bragged about how special he has become. “If you have a pipe about you sit down and have a fill of mine! There's no hurry, we have all the day before of us!” Restating this quote from chapter 1 on page 4 explains the kind of life Bilbo lived before he contributed with experiences with the ring. “My dear Bard!” Squeaked Bilbo. “Don't be so hasty! I never met such suspicious folk! I am merely trying to avoid trouble for all concerned.” This quote from chapter 6 on page 273 shows how Bilbo has elaborated from the beginning of the book because Bilbo is now no longer looking for trouble. He is looking at the positive and what he can do better. He is trying to make change happen. Although some people may argue that Bilbo is not making a difference and he is not becoming a new and better person than he used to
