The Hobbit: Characterization of Bilbo

Bilbo is a very good example of a dynamic character. In the beginning of the story he is timid and un-wanting of the journey he has been asked to partake in. Through multiple encounters with danger throughout the book Bilbo learns about his own self-worth and improves his confidence helping him face the ultimate obstacle "Smaug" at the end of the book. He brags to the Dragon about his accomplishments instead of cowering in fear, earlier in the book he wouldn't have this sense of confidence.
