  2. Chapter 8 - Flies and Spiders

  3. Plot Summary One night they see flicker of light in trees, and ignoring Beorn and Gandalf’s advice they leave the path. Bilbo and the Dwarves go into Mirkwood to continue with their quest. Spiders capture the dwarves and Bilbo. They battle and dwarves escape. Bilbo is obliged to tell them about the ring. When the group finally are about to get some rest, they realise Thorin is missing. Thorin was taken by the elves!

Character Revelation – Bilbo Baggins BEFOREAFTER • Low self-esteem and confidence • Sad about Gandalf leaving • Clever with riddles • Wants to go on the adventure • Is willing to help his companions and put himself in danger • Becomes very brave and realises that he has to take risks • Bilbo is taking charge and now knows that dwarves depend on him • Keen eyed • Gained great respect • Gained confidence in himself

  5. Literary Devices Simile Onomatopoeia A figure of speech that compares two unlike things using a word such as likeor as. “The entrance to the path was like a sort of arch leading into a gloomy tunnel…” (Tolkien 140) “…it was trying to poison him to keep him quiet, as small spiders do to flies…” (155) Aword that sounds like its meaning “Splash it fell in the water!” (143)

  6. Literary Devices Personification Giving a inanimate object a human attribute. “… and the quiet was so deep that their feet seemed to thump along while the trees leaned over them and listened.” (140)

  7. Questions • Who fell into the dangerous river that Bilbo and the dwarves come across? • What happened every night that roused the dwarves and Bilbo? • Why was the spider surprised when Bilbo had taken his sword out to fight? • How was Bilbo able to trick the spiders and free the dwarves? (*Hint: what did he use?) • Who did they notice went missing in the end?
