Themes
This book has many themes including that of greed and responsibility. Greed can be seen in both Bilbo and the Dwarven King and responsibility is a large burden that they all hold. This theme is very well implemented and although, they do sometimes seem forceful in its implementation. Though this is forgivable as this is a very old novel and nearly everything during that time period was very morale heaviest.
The theme of feeling homesick is also very prevalent in the novel and its presence can be felt in many parts of the novel. Seen in both Bilbo wanting to go back home and the Dwarves wanting to retake their mountain the story definitely makes an effort to make this important. Furthermore, this theme is very well fleshed out and you feel as if you to feel this emotion.
