1) The first character I chose that in my opinion demonstrates heroic qualities in The Hobbit is Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo starts off as just an ordinary hobbit but as he is on his journey with Gandalf and the Dwarves he truly shows his heroic abilities.

c) A secondary example is in Thor the movie, Thor has a hammer that would be the archetypal magic weapon in the movie. Thor uses the hammer to beat all of the villains and save the world just like Bilbo does in The
