Greed

Greed is represented in Hobbit in many ways.
====- In the first few chapters the dwarves only go on the adventure because of the gold. They are greedy because they only want the gold for themselves! The dwarves said that they were taking the journey to reclaim their heritage, but that is not the case. Bilbo also was interested in the treasure and became greedy as well. Elrond, the leader of the elves, knows that the dwarves are in it for the treasure. He doesn't like this and he thinks that it is a bad reason for going on the journey.====

- When Bard kills the dragon, He thinks he deserves part of the treasure. He should get rewarded for his doing but Thorin doesn't agree. Thorin does not share any of it with him and that proves that he is extremely greedy! Thorin was also mad when Bilbo gave Bard the Arkenstone because he thought it was rightfully his. He wanted to steal the stone back because he wanted it for himself. All the dwarves were very greedy with their 1/14 of their treasure.
