Can someone answer this, i have done every other question but this one i really do not get. this is due tomorrow and i need someone who has read the book to answer. you so much in advance.

in chapter 5, bilbo has the chance to kill gollum but chooses not to. then, in one of tolkien's later books, it happens that—though great kings, brave warriors, and wise wizards are against a terrible evil—gollum is the only character that can save middle-earth from destruction. compare the examples of the dwarves' and the goblins' prejudices with the effects of bilbo's choice. what theme do you notice? support your theme with examples from the text

I have read the book. The themes that I think may be evident in this passage are probably ones of divine providence, chance, fate, something like that. The goblins wanted to kill Gollum, but Bilbo spared his life. They did not like this decision obviously, but it turned out that it was the right decision for biblo to make. If he had not spared him, they would all be killed and middle-earth destroyed. Gollum was almost killed several times, but he was always spared by some unseen thing. A god, fate, chance, who knows? I'm not really sure if this totally answers your questions, but it's something. You'll at least get half a mark for trying, right? lol
