Character Analysis Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo Baggins, the protagonist of The Hobbit, is one of a race of creatures about half the size of humans, beardless and with hairy feet. He lives in an unspecified time that is at once ancient and also very like the Victorian age, with its cozy domestic routines.
In The Hobbit, a thrush is the bird which shows the hidden door into the mountain of Erebor, allowing Bilbo access to the dwarves' treasure kept by the dragon Smaug, and subsequently tells Bard the Bowman how to kill Smaug, having overheard Bilbo's account of the flaw in the dragon's armour. 1  Thrushes by Peter Clement.
