The hero enters the zone of danger. This may start immediately after the first threshold or may require some travel, and may be the hero's lowest point.
At what point does Bilbo encounter something dark, unknown, or frightening? Does he enter the "belly of the beast" willingly, or is he thrust or captured in that place? What part of himself is he leaving behind to begin his metamorphosis?

i think that it is where he is like i smaugs lair or in the goblins lair but they are both risking his life alot more than other thing they do in the adventure like where he can die in a split second i mean smaug could of shot one fire ball and probably killed him because he knew that bilbo was standing right at the entrace i mean that is the only way e knew how to get out at the time
