The Courage of the Small Person in The Hobbit
The Hobbit depicts the courage of an untrained and unassuming individual, Bilbo, who embarks on a heroic quest. In a departure from the traditional heroic figure, Bilbo, an English gentry without a warrior's training or occupation, is pushed by Gandalf to discover the bravery within himself. Throughout the story, Bilbo faces various challenges, such as trolls, Gollum, spiders, and ultimately, the dragon Smaug, demonstrating increasing display of courage despite his initial fear and hesitation. He evolves from a timid individual to someone courageous enough to confront a dragon, symbolizing the theme of courage in the narrative.
