An anti-hero is somebody that lacks the heroic qualities that normal heroes would have. They also lack courage or morality through their story or book. They feel rejected by society most of the time.

"The return of Mr. Bilbo Baggins created quite a disturbance, both under the Hill and over the Hill, and across the Water; it was a great deal more than a nine days’ wonder. The legal bother, indeed, lasted for years. It was quite a long time before Mr. Baggins was in fact admitted to be alive again. The people who had got especially good bargains at the Sale took a deal of convincing, and in the end to save time Bilbo had to buy back quite a lot of his own furniture. Many of his silver spoons mysteriously disappeared and were never accounted for. Personally, he suspected the Sackville-Bagginses. On their side, they never admitted that the returned Baggins was genuine, and they were not on friendly terms with Bilbo ever after. They really had wanted to live in his nice hobbit hole so very much."

Both of these things show how he is an Anti-Hero. In my opinion, he could be anti or epic, but these quotes really show why he is anti. In the Graphic Novel, it shows that he wasn't able to control the situation, and he depended on the luck of something else. The eagle came in and took him, which was complete luck, and shows that he wasn't able to control the situation, not making him the epic hero that he could be. This also shows that he has really no power to top himself over others. In the original text, it kind of shows how he is disrespected in the real world after he returns, which an epic hero wouldn't get. He returned to the house and all of his things were in the middle of an auction. This shows disrespect because they were getting rid of all of his things, and not respecting him.

Now he went on again. Down the other side of the great mound he climbed, and the spark of his torch vanished from the sight of the watching dwarves. But soon they saw it far away in the distance again. Bilbo was crossing the floor of the hall."

Roads go ever ever on,

Over rocks and under trees,

By caves where never sun has shone,

By streams that never find the sea;

Over snow by winter sown,

And through the merry flowers of June,

Over grass and over stone,

And under mountains on the moon.

Roads go ever ever on

Under cloud and under star,

Yet feet that wander have gone

Turn at last to home afar.

Eyes that fire and sword have seen

And horror in the halls of stone

Look at last on meadows green

Gandalf looked at him. “My dear Bilbo!” he said. “Something is the matter with you! You are not the hobbit that you were.” And so they crossed the bridge and passed the mill by the river and came right back to Bilbo’s own door."
