Bilbo Baggins in the novel, The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien, is a clever character. In the beginning of the tale, the dwarfs considered Bilbo as a worthless grocer rather than a burglar (Tolkien 18).

Continuing their journey without Gandalf, another obstacle arouses. Bilbo overcame this hindrance chivalrously. When the giant spiders in the woods captured all the dwarfs, Bilbo did not try to kill the beasts. He decided to insult the spiders and lead them further away from the dwarfs. He wanted to make them curious,
