For Bilbo to fully adapt himself to the mindset of a hero he had to use everything he knew, including his memory, “Unfortunately for Gollum Bilbo had heard that sort of thing before: and the answer was all round him…

He was Gollum-as dark as darkness, except for two big…

He is kind because when bilbo could have killed Gollum in the goblin tunnels when Gollum was trying to kill Bilbo, Bilbo had the chance to kill gollum, but he didn’t do it. Another reason why he is kind is because after Gollum, bilbo could have run back home to the Shire, but instead he came back to the dwarves and fought off the orcs with them.
