Comparsion Of The Characters In The Hobbit By J. R.

The novel The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien (1937) follows the main characters Bilbo and Gandalf along with Thorin and his group of dwarves as they embark on a fantastical adventure to the Misty Mountains. Although the films mainly follow this same journey, many plot points were added in to lengthen the movies and cater to action fans, while some plot points were taken out. The book is filled with old, unkempt men who are mainly involved in the journey for the riches and the thrill. However, the characters in the films often act and look differently than how they were described in The Hobbit which causes certain parts of the films to be inconsistent with the novel. Peter Jackson, the film’s director, also took the creative liberty to add female characters

This is evident as the novel is filled with grimy dwarves, old and unattentive wizards, and annoying creatures. Peter Jackson and the writers had to alter the characters to bring in a larger audience than just middle-aged, misogynistic men. A prime example of this is Thorin, the leader of the dwarves and descendant of the King under the Mountain. In the novel, he is a greedy leader who only wants to travel to the Misty Mountains for the gold hidden inside. Peter Jackson changes not only Thorin's appearance but also how he acts around others. Watchers first see him as a stoic and harsh leader, but as his character develops he is seen as a firm and loving King who, deep down, is only on the journey to reclaim his homeland so his brothers have a home

Romance adds themes of passion, intimacy, and emotional connection between characters, and often explores the complexities of human relationships.

Why is female representation important in film? It reflects political, social, and cultural values that align with beliefs in a specific society at a specific time, which in turn makes it a perfect medium to transmit messages to many people.

Bilbo is sweet in the book and sassy in the film. During the feast with the dwarves, Tolkien writes, Bilbo becomes anxious at the prospect of an adventure and tries to sneak out of his Hobbit hole and hide. In the film, Bilbo makes no such attempt. (character)

Radagast the Brown, one of the five wizards who exist in Middle Earth, plays a substantial role in the film. He is painted as a strange, animal-loving character who interacts with Gandalf, the dwarves, and Bilbo throughout the film. He even aids the group by distracting a herd of goblins. In the book, Radagast is only ever
