Bilbo Baggins Character Profile

Bilbo Baggins isn’t much at the beginning of the story but as it progresses his confidence grows and by the end he is incredibly brave. Bilbo is a hobbit. A hobbit is about half the size of a regular person, just shorter than a dwarf. He is a little fat in the stomach and dresses in bright colors like green and yellow. Hobbits also wear no shoes, as their feet are larger and hairier than a gorilla. He comes from a very well respected and wealthy background. This was because none of the Bagginses ever had any adventures or did anything out of the ordinary. They were as bland as a white wall. Bilbo however was taken on an adventure. This forced him to take on challenging risks and more daring stunts. Bilbo is a very warm and welcoming character. He is always happy to invite people over and entertain them at his home. When Bilbo is faced with a difficult situation he steps up and is quick thinking. Bilbo is always trying to keep the peace and resolve conflict and he gains confidence along the journey. Bilbo’s main purpose in the story was to steal treasure from the evil dragon Smaug and he proves to be an excellent thief. Throughout the story Bilbo’s character grows, he becomes more adventurous and realizes there is a different life outside his community.
