Can someone please answer this, I have done every other question but this one I really do not get. This is due tomorrow and I need someone who has read the book to answer. Thank you so much in advance.

Then, in one of Tolkien's later books, it happens that—though great kings, brave warriors, and wise wizards are helpless against a terrible evil—Gollum is the only character that can save Middle-earth from destruction. Compare the examples of the dwarves' and the goblins' prejudices with the effects of Bilbo's choice. What theme do you notice? Support your theme with examples from the text
