#CHIEFEST AND GREATEST OF CALAMITIES PATCH#

The love for materialistic items can be the root of irrational actions. Greed is a demise of the soul and mind, which is a greater demise than a lame leg. SmaugвЂ™s greed for shiny things and objects, such as gold, led the dwarves to try to steal the gold back, and due to poor judgment on both Bilbo and SmaugвЂ™s behalf, Smaug ends up dying while trying to destroy Lake Town. Smaug stole the treasure of Thor, but when he did the dwarves that survived swore vengeance upon the dragon. Smaug is a greedy and evil dragon, (like all dragons) which led to his demise. вЂњThere is no greater calamity than being consumed by greed,вЂќ as the Chinese proverb states. Avarice is greed, greed causes people to order or do unreasonable things that they normally wouldnвЂ™t do. He always was the facts and never actually was truly hospitable to the dwarves. For example, the master is all figures and numbers, he decided to save himself instead of getting others onto his boat and set off together. Many people state money is the root of all evil, but greed is truly the root of evil, it is the choice of a man whether to pursuit his love for money or use his consciences to and do what is right. As one man put it, вЂњPolitics is the mask of greed,вЂќ greed is almost always the man behind the mask. When Smaug left and the thrush delivers the news that the lake men and elves are coming to take all the great hoard of jewels and gold, Thorin rushes back to the mountain and bars the doors together, and he might as well have starve to death and tried to eat the gold if it was not for BilboвЂ™s wise judgement. Thorin the king under the mountain is not necessarily evil, just a dwarf with his judgment being disoriented by his love for gold. Greed is the root of corruption corruption is the root of Moraless men. The theme of the Hobbit is Greed causes people to do irrational things. ThorinвЂ™s greed, the Masters love for money and numbers, and the companyвЂ™s lust for gold all play a role in the complex plot. But, in the end they must face the worst danger off all, greed. Bilbo is swept from his home into a timeless adventure where he encounters Giant spiders, goblins, and Smaug, the Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities.

Tolkien cleverly weaves together unforgettable characters such as Bilbo, Thorin, Gandalf, and other characters. Tolkien, states that greed causes people to become irrational, if not corrupt. Whether you read Dante, Swift, or any of these guys, it always boils down to the same thing: the corruption of the soul.вЂќ Similarly from the book, The Hobbit, created and weaved together by J.R.R. In years to come, beneath the waters of the lake his mighty bones could be seen, and the jewels that had lined his hide: the last remains of the greatest Dragon of his age.вЂњThe beast for me is greed. Bard shot Smaug with an arrow, and though Lake-town was devastated in his attack and fall, the Dragon was defeated. In particular, it reached the heir of another of Smaug's victims: Bard, the descendant of Girion of Dale.

Bilbo had managed to discover an open patch in the Dragon's armour, and word of this had been carried to Lake-town. Realizing that they must have had help from Lake-town to the south, he set out to punish the Men of the Lake instead. Thorin, Bilbo and their companions were sealed in a hidden tunnel, and at last the frustrated Smaug gave up his attack on the mountain. In his anger, the Dragon flew from his halls, scorching and breaking the mountainside. With him came Bilbo Baggins, a Hobbit with a magical Ring with which he had invisibly removed that single cup from Smaug's treasure. He could not have imagined that the loss of that cup signalled his own imminent downfall Thorin, the heir of the King under the Mountain that Smaug had driven from his halls those many years before, had returned to reclaim his kingdom. Of all that mountain of wealth, he noticed with rage that a single two-handled cup had been taken. Then, one day in the October of III 2941, one hundred and seventy-one years after his arrival in Erebor, Smaug awoke to find his treasure disturbed. Slowly the years and decades passed, until the people of the Long Lake to the south had almost forgotten the Dragon of Erebor and Smaug imagined himself unassailable. Gathering together the treasures of the Dwarves, he formed himself an immense bed of gold and jewels and settled within the ruined halls of Erebor. In the year III 2770 he flew from the North and descended in fire on the Lonely Mountain, destroying the Dwarf-kingdom and the nearby township of Dale.

At some time during the twenty-eighth century of the Third Age, he came to hear of the immense wealth held by the Dwarves of Erebor. Smaug was the last of the great fire-drakes, 2 and said to be the greatest Dragon of his time.
