The Hobbit Cause and Effect

In the hobbit Bilbo Baggins gets stuck In a mine when he stumbles upon a ring. The ring turned out to be a evil magical and it turned the wearer invisible. The ring saves Bilbo numerous time throughout his time with it. This caused him to slowly lose his mind. Even in the very mine he found it. Goblins would have killed him before he even got close to escaping the terrifying dark of the mine. It’s also the main component of the sequels. For Frodo Baggins is the ring bearer in the Lord of the Rings series. The creature Gollum was the ring bearer before he lost it but he was captured by the rings creator some years later because the creator is the only one that can wield the ring for full potential.

If Gollum had not lost the ring the creator would have regained power and destroyed middle earth as we know it. Who knows what would have happened to the members of the fellowship from the sequels. They’d most likely become slaves or be killed trying to protect their lands. If Bilbo doesn’t find the ring though he didn’t know it middle earth would have most likely been destroyed and everyone he knew killed or enslaved in the process. Bilbo saved middle earth in the process of his seemingly pointless adventure at the time. Bilbo saved everyone that night in the mine with just one accidental stumble.
