At last, having conquered the demons without and within, the hero has earned the right to live life as they choose. The life of the hero may hence take many paths, often one of wisdom. They may become rulers, teachers or advisers. They may get married and settle down or perhaps go adventuring again.

Throughout Ch. 14 Smaug was killed. Even though Bilbo doesn't really know that he is dead does that give him the freedom to live?
