Thorin Oakenshield is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's. In the 1937 novel, the Hobbit. Thorin is best known as The leader of the thirteen dwarves journeying to the Lonely Mountain. Thorin is the descendant of the King Under the Mountain who lost his throne when Smaug came and ousted the dwarves from their home. He has great bravery and integrity, but his love for the treasure that was stolen from him and his people leads him to behave stubbornly and selfishly even after he has won it back. The name Thorin is a boy's name of Norse origin meaning "brave, daring one". This is a dwarf's name that first appeared in the thirteenth-century mythology compilation Prose Edda, which, along with the Poetic Edda, represents nearly all of pagan Scandinavian mythology. Tolkien later used the name for the character Thorin II Oakenshield of The Hobbit.Thorin had a white beard and wore a sky-blue hood with a long silver tassel. Around his neck, he wore a golden chain, upon which he attached his grandfather's key. He wore a belt of gold and jewels, and his stockings were yellow. Thorin was the son of Thráin II, the older brother of Frerin and Dís, the grandson of King Thrór and the uncle of Fíli and Kíli. Thorni has other names such as King under the Mountain or Mountain King. Thorin is smart, proud, brave, intelligent, greedy, unkind, changing, forgiving and a bit stubborn. He was sophisticated, noble, and exuded royalty and power, but tended to treat his allies as equals and like family. A quote by Thorin developing his personality from bad to good is “If More people valued home, above gold this world would be a merrier place quoted in (chapter 18). A second quote by Thorin being forgiving is “I would take back my words and my deeds at the Gate. You did what only a true friend would do. Forgive me. I was too blind to see” (chapter 18, ). A third quote of Thorin being disdainful is quoted in (chapter 1) and it says, Thorin indeed was very haughty, and said nothing about service; but poor Mr. Baggins said he was sorry so many times, that at last, he grunted “pray don’t mention it,” and stopped frowning. And The last quote of Thorin forgives his friends he says on his deathbed I wish to part in friendship from you, and I would take back my words and deeds at the Gate he says this because he wanted to ask biblo that I'm sorry for what I did do you but hopes we are still friends his is one of Thorni last Quotes and it found in (Chapter 18). These are four quotes showing Thorni Though and mind. Thorin fought using typical dwarven axes, a bow, and swords as well as an elven blade called Orcrist, which was given to him by Gandalf the Grey. Before Thorin died, he made his peace with Bilbo by commending the Hobbit's bravery and good character, apologizing for his harsh words. His last words were, "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. But, sad or merry, I must leave it now. Farewell." Biblo told him help is on the way but when Biblo Baggins said that King Thorin Oakenshield already died.
