How long are the dwarves in the elf kings prison in mirkwood?

In J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit," the dwarves are imprisoned by the Elf King in Mirkwood for approximately three days. During this time, they are kept in cells and face the threat of being forgotten.

What is Mirkwood?

Mirkwood is a fictional forest in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, primarily featured in "The Hobbit." It is known for its dense, dark trees and is home to various creatures, including spiders and elves. The forest is divided into two parts: the Southern Mirkwood, which is tainted by the presence of the Necromancer, and the Northern Mirkwood, where the Woodland Realm of the Elves resides. Mirkwood plays a significant role in the journey of Bilbo Baggins and the company of dwarves as they traverse its perilous paths.


What leads the Elven king to imprison the dwarfs?

The Elves felt they were being attacked and responded in kind. Since Thorin refused to tell them why he was in their realm, for fear they would want some of the treasure (he coveted the Arkenstone and feared others would try to take it), they decided to imprison him just to be safe. The Elves distrusted the Dwarves, and they had, for many years, been seen as beggars.
