However, in the movie, dwarves’ music sounds like a dirge. The music they played sounds good as the attendees, including Gandalf, dance to its rhythm. A soothing music that involves different instruments, including flutes, a drum, clarinets, viols, and a harp, is played after the party. In comparison, in the movie, the dwarves serve themselves and help clean up the place after the party. During the party, Bilbo prepares and serves food to his guests. The book describes Bag-End, Bilbo’s abode, as having a cellar (room) that serves as a liquor store. The events of the unexpected party have also been changed in the film adaptation. In addition, the visitors carry no tools. In contrast, in the film adaptation, Thorin enters the party in the company of three dwarves, Bombur, Bofur, and Bifur. In the novel, Thorin is the last one to join the “unexpected party”.

Each group dons brightly coloured attires and carry musical instruments. The dwarves come to Bolbi’s home in five different groups: Dwalin Balin, Kili and Fili, Ori, Gloin, Oin, Dori, and Nori, Bifur, Bombur, Bofur, and Thorin. The same events are replicated in the movie. After declining the offer, Bilbo enters his hobbit-hole and shuts his “round green door”, which Gandalf marks to enable the dwarves to locate the hobbit. Tolkien reveals to the reader the history of the Middle Earth, the origin of the Hobbits, and the Dwarves’ current situation in his book.

A prologue in the movie introduces the audience to the story. In contrast, in the movie, the story revolves around Bilbo and the dwarves.

Moreover, in the book, the story is narrated from the author’s perspective. Gandalf just shows up at the party without Bilbo’s invitation. Although Bilbo declines the offer, out of his kind-heartedness, he invites him for tea (supper) the following day, but soon rues his decision. In contrast, the movie begins with “an unexpected party”, which follows the scene where Bilbo refuses Gandalf’s offer. As the story begins, Gandalf enters through Bilbo’s door and requests him to join the dwarves on an adventure to the Lonely Mountain. The book describes them as being half the size of humans, but some scenes of the movie depict Bilbo’s as having the same height as that of dwarf. The book’s description of the Hobbits’ stature and landscape has been changed in the screenplay. In chapter one, the events preceding the quest (the unexpected party) have been modified in the movie. This essay compares and contrasts the Hobbit book and the movie based on the differences and similarities between the two. Striking differences between the Hobbit book and its movie version relate to the use of imagery, dialogue, and alliteration. The plot has also been conserved in the movie. The names of places, characters, and events are the same in both the book and the movie. However, several modifications and additions to the screenplay make the film different from the Hobbit book. The book was adapted into a film named The Hobbit, an Unexpected Journey. It is evident that the ‘adventure’ to the Lonely Mountain transformed Bilbo into a wise and knowledgeable hobbit. Bilbo returns to his hobbit-hole a changed hobbit. The dwarves share some of their treasure with Bilbo for his role in its recovery.

After fighting many battles, they recover the dwarves’ treasure and begin their journey back to the hobbit lands. The band of fourteen endures hostile weather conditions, constant attacks and abductions, and starvation on their way to the Lonely Mountain. A fiery dragon, Smaug, claims ownership of the treasure after acquiring it during an earlier invasion. In this fantasy story, Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, a Gandalf, a wizard, and a group of midgets set out on an adventure to repossess stolen treasure hidden in the Lonely Mountain. In the book, The Hobbit, the author, JR Tolkien tells a story of short, contented humanlike creatures called hobbits. Political Imagery in the Hobbit Book and Film.
