RE: Hobbit Questions Chapter One: What does Gandalf want from Bilbo
6. What does Gandalf want from Bilbo?
- What is the dwarves’ mission?
- Who is Thorin Oakenshield?
- What does the sign on the door really mean?
8. Thorin is the leader of the dwarves, and he takes himself very seriously. He is conscious of his position as son of Thrain and grandson of Thror, King under the Mountain, and mindful of his birthright to the treasure trove guarded by Smaug.
