In the heroes of The Hobbit, apart from Gandalf who was grown upside-down, Elrond, the eternal elf king, and Galadriel, the eternal elf queen, the most heroic person is probably the dwarf leader Thorin. ·The oak shield is gone. The long years of vengeance and the pain of losing his father have made Thorin's eyebrows more melancholy. The sense of responsibility to regain the land always remembered in his heart makes him full of tragic colors, because he led No one in the 12-man team can match the exhaustion of an emperor.

Except for Thorin, the other dwarves performed their duties in this unexpected journey. It was not so much a heroic spirit, but rather a piece of luck. The resourceful Bahrain, the brave and combative Dewarin, and the energetic Feili and Chili. , Bofer and Pangbo, who are optimistic by nature, the elusive Beaver, the Ouyin who is eye-catching and ear-sound, the budget-conscious Groyin, the three brothers of Dori, Nori, and Ouli, each with their own style, and of course, there are Bilbo, the core figure of this journey, and the soul figure Gandalf’s cross-knife help, seemingly insignificant and no one cares about the Hobbit, even the hobbit who was complained about at first, has repeatedly saved the dwarves from danger.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey quotes

  • Bilbo Baggins: I have... I have never used a sword in my life.

    Gandalf: And I hope you never have to. But if you do, remember this: true courage is about knowing not when to take a life, but when to spare one.

  • Dori: Mr. Gandalf, can't you do something about this deluge?

    Gandalf: It is raining, Master dwarf, and it will continue to rain until the rain is done. If you wish to change the weather of the world, you should find yourself another wizard.

    Bilbo Baggins: Are there any?

    Gandalf: What?

    Bilbo Baggins: Other wizards?

    Gandalf: There are five of us. The greatest of our order is Saruman the White. And then there are the two Blue Wizards... You know, I've quite forgotten their names.

    Bilbo Baggins: And the fifth?

    Gandalf: Well, that would be Radagast the Brown.

    Bilbo Baggins: Is he a great wizard, or is he more like you?

    Gandalf: Well, I think he is a very great wizard... in his own way. He's a gentle soul who prefers the company of animals for others. He keeps a watchful eye over the vast forest lands to the East, and a good thing too. For always evil will look to find a foothold in this world.
