40 analyze at least two themes from the hobbit. discuss how these themes are revealed through the characters, setting, and/or conflicts of the story. use specific examples from the novel in your response.

I know i am kinda late but here is the other one Dont judge a book by its cover. In the book gandalf mentions there is more in biblo than what meets the eye. He is saying dont judge by the outside but whats inside. Thornin and co. did not listen to this until biblo had the ring.

like the first answer here said friendship is more important than treasure. Biblo gave the arkenstone to the king even though he knew thorin wanted it really badly i hope i am not spoiling this to anyoneSPOILER ALERT! Okay so in the end thorin resives the arkenstone because they had won the war of the 5 armies, and the more kingly person bard handed it to him.
