Name: __________________________________________________ Date: _______________ Class: ___ The Hobbit Chapter 6 Questions 1. After Bilbo has escaped from the goblin cave, he wonders about the fate of the rest of the party, and he reluctantly decides that he should go back to rescue the dwarves. Compare and contrast Bilbo's feelings on going back for the dwarves to the dwarves feelings on going back and saving Bilbo. What major difference in character is revealed between the dwarves and Bilbo? Who do you think is the "better person" between them? Why? 2. The wargs (large and intelligent wolves) and goblins are both aberrations of nature; they are twisted creatures that don't fit into the normal order of the world. The eagle, a proud and majestic creature, swoops in with his crew to save the party from the onslaught. While not a huge fan of dwarves, the eagle is a sworn enemy of the goblin. Considering their respective places in the natural order, what do the eagles represent, and what do the wargs and goblins represent? What do the eagles fight against, causing them to willingly attack the goblins and wargs? 3. When Bilbo is relaying the story of his escape to the dwarves, he leaves out a vital detail. What is this detail, and how does it change the dwarves' perception of the story? Is Bilbo justified in leaving out such a detail? What can we infer about Bilbo from this scene?
