Synopsis, Conflict, and Setting





Synopsis:
            A hobbit named Bilbo Baggins goes on a spectacular journey away from the Shire in the company of the wizard Gandalf and a band of dwarves:  Thorin, Dwalin, Balin, Kili, Fili, Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur.  They toil through mountains, swamp, spiders, and trolls to re-inhabit the Lonely Mountain, guarded by the dragon Smaug.

Conflict: 
The story sets around the reclaiming of the Lonely Mountain and surviving the perilous journey to their desired destination.

Setting:
            The Hobbit takes place in the Third Age of Middle-Earth.  The party’s journey starts at the Shire, a pleasant and civilized homage, to the hopeless wild lands under the shadow of the Lonely Mountains.
