A series called "75 reasons why you should read The Hobbit before watching the films" is currently being posted on "The Tolkienist"'s website. The newest article by Michael Drout compares the heroic world and the bourgeois world and has some very insightful thoughts on the misunderstandings that result from their cultural clash. I found it very well worth reading and highly recommend it to you!
