By watching The Hobbit you can learn to see how one can overcome what they know to be safer and smarter to quench their desires.Bilbo Baggins, the main character of the book-turned-movie would rather stay in his home than go on an adventure that appeals to his supposed adventurous-or Tookish-side.Although, once the desire to leave and join on this surely-to-be historic quest, he runs after his new friends to defeat a dragon.

When Gandalf, his Wizard friend, comes to ask him to join the company made up of Gandalf and thirteen dwarves to reclaim a lost dwarven kingdom from Smaug the Dragon, Bilbo is brought into conflict with his own desire to go on this quest that would bring him the freedom and adventure that his calm and quiet neighborhood cannot provide.He would rather stay in his Hobbit Hole and be a Baggins like his father and be a homely hobbit.Yet, the idea of leaving his small town for the unknown vastness of Middle Earth brings out his Took side that his mother was known for.

Once the Company begins their quest leaving Bilbo behind, his decision is made.He goes against what he was taught to be common sense and goes to join the others on reclaiming an entire kingdom.Bilbo decides to go on a quest that could easily have perilous dangers and he may not even make it anywhere near their desired destination.Although, the risk does not deter him from the glamour of leaving and seeking the adventure that was missing from his life.
