Film Analysis: The Call To Adventure Of Bilbo Baggins

Improved Essays
1 Call to adventure The call to adventure for Bilbo Baggins is very clear to me. He's enjoying his life as a hobbit, they all do. He's living in this hole, eating his food and living his life. When all the sudden, many many people arrive unexpectedly after an unexpected visitor earlier in the day.

    When Bilbo falls off of Dori’s shoulders entering the mountain. It can be perceived as Bilbo being weak and timid since he relies on everyone.
