account of his travels in <a href="/wiki/Iceland" title="Iceland">Iceland</a> in the early 1870s in numerous details. Like Bilbo's, Morris's party set off enjoyably into the wild on <a href="/wiki/Pony" title="Pony">ponies</a>. He meets a "boisterous" man called "Biorn the boaster" who lives in a hall beside Eyja-fell, and who tells Morris, tapping him on the belly, "... besides, you know you are so fat", just as Beorn pokes Bilbo "most disrespectfully" and <a href="/wiki/Hobbit#Rabbit" title="Hobbit">compares him to a plump rabbit</a>. Burns notes that Morris was "relatively short, a little rotund, and affectionately called 'Topsy', for his curly mop of hair", all somewhat hobbit-like characteristics. Further, she writes, "Morris in Iceland often chooses to place himself in a comic light and to exaggerate his own ineptitude", just as Morris's companion, the painter <a href="/wiki/Edward_Burne-Jones" title="Edward Burne-Jones">Edward Burne-Jones</a>, gently teased his friend by depicting him as very fat in his Iceland cartoons. Burns suggests that these images "make excellent models" for the Bilbo who runs puffing to the Green Dragon inn or "jogs along behind Gandalf and the dwarves" on his quest. Another definite resemblance is the emphasis on home comforts: Morris enjoyed a pipe, a bath, and "regular, well-cooked meals"; Morris looked as out of place in Iceland as Bilbo did "over the Edge of the Wild"; both are afraid of dark caves; and both grow through their adventures.<sup id="cite_ref-Burns_2005_38-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Burns_2005-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Quest">Quest</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bilbo_Baggins&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Quest"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Quests_in_Middle-earth" title="Quests in Middle-earth">Quests in Middle-earth</a> and <a href="/wiki/Character_pairing_in_The_Lord_of_the_Rings#Jungian_archetypes" title="Character pairing in The Lord of the Rings">Character pairing in The Lord of the Rings § Jungian archetypes</a></div> <p>The Christian writer <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Pearce" title="Joseph Pearce">Joseph Pearce</a> describes <i>The Hobbit</i> as "a <a href="/wiki/Pilgrimage" title="Pilgrimage">pilgrimage</a> of <a href="/wiki/Divine_grace" title="Divine grace">grace</a>, in which its protagonist, Bilbo Baggins, becomes grown up ... in wisdom and virtue".<sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Dorothy Matthews sees the story rather as a psychological journey, the anti-heroic Bilbo being willing to face challenges while firmly continuing to love home and discovering himself.
