People change when they are forced out of comfort and into doing things by themselves. Bilbo develops positively from 3 events that challenge him because he does not stay in hobbit hole and do nothing. He becomes less sedentary and more adventurous when the dwarves and Gandalf convince him with the song to go on the adventure, he becomes more brave when he steals the ring from Gollum and he becomes more responsible when dealing with the spiders after Gandalf leaves.
The song they sing makes him more adventurous because he goes on the adventure and he is excited, when before he was scared. “As they sang the hobbit felt the love of beautiful things made by hands and by cunning and by magic moving through him, a fierce and jealous love, the desire …show more content…
As a consequence, he becomes more brave after he survives because he did not have to rely on his friends. “Wind, wind of course, he said, and he was so pleased that he made up one on the spot(Tolkien 74).” This shows that he is happy about being able to deal with Gollum which means that he becomes more confident in his abilities. After this he is also more able to deal with stuff, such as escaping from the goblin’s mountain. He becomes more brave after this because he no longer has to fear situations where he would be put in danger without the ring.

As they were dealing with depredations of the spiders, Bilbo says “‘I shall draw the spiders off, if I can; and you must keep together and make in the opposite direction(Tolkien 163).’” This shows that Bilbo is more of a leader because he is commanding the group now that there is no longer anyone else like Gandalf or the other dwarves, who were dizzy after being captured. This is in stark contrast to earlier in the book before he has this development when he deals with the trolls. The other dwarves get captured and Bilbo is left hiding. Gandalf deals with them and Bilbo does nothing. This shows that Bilbo changed when dealing with the spiders because he was forced to take responsibility. In addition, Bilbo was captured first and with the spiders the dwarves were captured first. This shows he became less clumsy and as the leader he has to be less maladroit because he carried out a part of the plan on his own so he can’t mess up. He also gets his first kill on a spider with a sword that he names while hungry. It makes him more into a leader
