Like Beowulf, J. R. R. Tolkien’s character Bilbo is “terrified of losing himself” and so rejects exile and embraces
the warrior’s heroic code (Annotated Hobbit 226). Another work by Tolkien confronts the same issue: the
character Frodo is told that he must resist going to a “cave, slowly to forget and to be forgotten” (365).

In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the character Dill is introduced primarily through narration:
Dill was from Meridian, Mississippi, was spending the summer with his aunt, Miss Rachel, and would be
spending every summer in Maycomb from now on. His family was from Maycomb County originally, his
mother worked for a photographer in Meridian, had entered his picture in a Beautiful Child contest and won
five dollars. She gave the money to Dill, who went to the picture show twenty times on it. (11)
In the film, Dill must relate everything through gesture and dialogue:
I’m little, but I’m old. Folks call me Dill. I’m from Meridian, Mississippi, and I’m spending two weeks next
door with my Aunt Stephanie. My mama works for a photographer in Meridian. She entered my picture in
the Beautiful Child Contest and won five dollars. She gave the money to me and I went to the picture show
twenty times with it.
