British Stuffiness: Bilbo is very much modeled on a country squire of Tolkien's era or slightly before: shackled by manners and a code of propriety from expressing himself (even when facing a home invasion by thirteen uninvited guests).Nonetheless, despite a very rough start, he's able to keep up with the far more world-wise and combat-experience dwarves through their dangerous journey and get the group out of several close calls. Badass Normal: He starts the story as a homebody living a comfortable life as essentially a minor country gentleman, without any personal experience in anything more strenuous that preparing his dinner or keeping home.The Baby of the Bunch: At the youthful age of 50, he's by a good margin the youngest member of the party.Audience Surrogate: He's totally unfamiliar with all the lore and geography outside of the Shire, requiring its explanation.See The Lord of the Rings character sheet for tropes that apply to him in that work. Bilbo smoking his pipe at Bag End, as depicted by Tolkien.Ī Hobbit chosen by the wizard Gandalf to accompany 13 Dwarves on a quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain and its treasure from the dragon Smaug.
