 From a Christian perspective, Thorin exemplifies the deadly sin of avarice, but is able to free himself from it at the time of his death.This deathbed conversion has been compared to the moral transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol".Thorin appears in Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" film series, in the Rankin/Bass animated version, and in the 1982 game of the same name.
