Why was Gandalf relieved that the rock slide carried them down the mountain?
Gandalf had to leave because he had some pressing business to attend to in the south (necromancer) being with the party so long already made him late. I believe the dwarves were more uncomfortable having to have the hobbit to help them instead of the wizard. Clever or witty.
What did Bilbo Gandalf and Thorin take from the Trolls Cave who saved Bilbo Thorin and Company from the trolls and how?
What did Gandalf, Thorin, and Bilbo take from the trolls’ cave? Gandalf and Thorin each took swords with jeweled hilts. Bilbo took a knife in a leather sheath.
Why is it important for the tale that Gandalf goes away?
The real reason why Gandalf leaves — that is, the literary reason Tolkien takes him out of the story for a while — is to give Bilbo a chance to “grow” as a hero. Gandalf saves the day in every previous encounter and he has, by this point in the story, become a crutch.
Why does Bilbo conceal from his friends his discovery of the ring?
Why does bilbo conceal from his friends his discovery of the ring? Bilbo conceals the discovery because he doesn’t want the dwarves to think any less of him.
Why is it important that Gandalf isn’t there when the expedition meets the trolls?
Why is it important that Gandalf is not present when the expedition meets the trolls? Gandalf is not present when the expedition meets the trolls to show that the company is going to face difficulties that will be more challenging than the trolls. Also to learn to work together.
What did Elrond help Thorin and Gandalf discover about on their map?
Gandalf’s sword is called Glamdring, and Thorin’s is named Orcrist. On Thorin’s map, Elrond is able to read moon-letters—writing visible only in the light of the moon in the proper phase—that describe how to find the secret entrance on the Lonely Mountain.
Why is Gandalf called Gandalf the white instead of Gandalf the Grey?
Midway through The Lord of the Rings, Gandalf is promoted to the head of the order of Wizards, and is thus named Gandalf the White instead of Gandalf the Grey.
What is Gandalf’s role in The Lord of the Rings?
Gandalf’s role and importance was substantially increased in the conception of The Lord of the Rings, and in a letter of 1954, Tolkien refers to Gandalf as an “angel incarnate”. In the same letter Tolkien states he was given the form of an old man in order to limit his powers on Earth.
Why did Gandalf drop his bow and arrow?
Gandalf dropped because the fellowship were looking like they were coming back into the open on bridge to try to rescue him. They would have been peppered with arrows and the chance of getting to him before he fell or was hit by an arrow himself was very low.
Why did Gandalf stand alone against the Balrog of Moria?
The Balrog of Moria thus became an adversary almost as powerful as Sauron himself, but it posed a more immediate threat to Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring. Hence, Gandalf ensured that he and he alone faced the Balrog directly by placing himself between his companions and the Balrog.
