What causes thorin's hardness of heart?

If you are referring to near the end of the book where Thorin rejects Bilbo, it is because of a dwarf's greediness for gold and treasure. Thorin had been searching for the Arkenstone of his father, Thrain, in the Lonely Mountain, and was upset that he could not find it. He was shocked when he found out that the very Hobbit that the dwarves had put all of their trust in had betrayed them and found the Arkenstone and did not tell him. Bottom line, dwarves are greedy. Hope this answer helped. :)

Why do you think the Master believed Thorin was a fraud Explain what changed his mind.?

The Master likely viewed Thorin as a fraud because he underestimated the legitimacy of Thorin's claim to the throne and the weight of his quest to reclaim Erebor, seeing it as a misguided venture rather than a noble cause. Initially, the Master was more concerned with his own power and the stability of his position, dismissing Thorin's ambitions as a threat to his authority. However, as Thorin's determination and leadership began to rally support among the people and demonstrate the potential for prosperity after the dragon's defeat, the Master started to recognize the seriousness and legitimacy of Thorin's mission, ultimately realizing that aligning with him could benefit his own standing.
