Chapter six essay of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit
In J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit, chapter 6 is appropriately entitled “Out of the Frying Pan into the Fire;” it is an old saying that means escaping one dangerous situation just to get into worse trouble. Thorin and company are considered “Out of the Frying Pan” when they escape from the goblin’s cavern, and “into the fire” when they found themselves in a glade of pine trees with Wargs and goblins. Thorin and company were “out of the frying pan” after they escaped from the goblin’s cavern. Gandalf used magic to turn off the lights and white sparks begin to burst, burning holes in the goblins. A flash of light is a blade that illuminates and kills the Great Goblin. There was shift from red/white light to blue when Gandalf was leading them out of the cavern by the light of his sword, Glamdring.
