Thorin Oakenshield's transformation throughout "The Hobbit" is primarily driven by his obsession with reclaiming his ancestral homeland and treasure from Smaug. This greed leads to paranoia and a growing distrust of his companions, particularly Bilbo and the other dwarves. His character arc highlights the corrupting influence of wealth and the burdens of leadership, ultimately culminating in a tragic realization of the cost of his fixation. Thorin's change underscores themes of honor, loyalty, and the effects of power.
