Themes in the novel

The Hobbit is a book with really creative content, and is of course a fantasy book. The main theme in this book is good vs evil. There are a lot of evil power and characters in the world of Middle-earth. Bilbo and his crew, the dwarves and Gandalv is the good. In the end of the book, the orcs are the ones The dwarves, humans and elves fight together to kill, when they come from Moria (The kingdom the dwarves lost to the orcs) and perform an ambush. That is when you really can feel who's good, and who's evil. 

There are also more themes in this novel, for example the way the author tests the relationship with humans and other creatures like elves and dwarves, and one hobbit. How they manage to fight side by side, and fight for each other.

And I also think that the novel has another theme, the way how Bilbo leaves his home, and stays away for over 13 months. It is about leaving all you love, knowing that you may never come back to this. And in the end of the book, Tolkien makes my opinion confirmed. Because when he is coming back to everything he loves, (cause he lives when the quest is accomplished) all of his things are out on an auction, right on front of his house, because there is a rule in the Shire, if you stay away for over 13 months, all your personal belongings is out for an auction, and the highest bidder gets what he or she bid on.  But all in all, he comes back to everything he loves in his home, in the Shire. 
Hope you liked my post! :)
