Revised blogpost, The Hobbit

The Hobbit is another novel that I find intriguing for the fact that it brings a sense normalcy and perspective in a world so exotic and diverse in comparison to our own. We are able to experience this through the eyes of a fairly relatable character, Bilbo, who is quite warm and friendly. We learn his quiet backgrounds but watch him embark and discover the diverse world he lives in, so therefore we are also experiencing it through him.
This background roots and sets us up for being able to properly understand the values of family lineage and birthright.
These certain circumstances allow Tolkein somewhat of a commentary onsocial issues; I know it is very subdued, but I do feel like he is putting somewhat of an importance on it. He gives us an earth without a universal stabilized government and we are able to see oppression and evil alongside innocent races. Some are more developed than others and they are all varying in terms of priorities (some want to take over the planet, while others want second breakfast.)
I also found it interesting, but predictable, about the corruption of men.

REVISION: ADDITION

Lets elaborate on the race of men. We always seem to be the morally instable and lower scum race in a fantasy world that is full of other species and begins.

Is it because we can easily see the fault in ourselves; because we actually are ourselves, and find it easy to point our our downfalls? Or is it that we believe that with any discovery of another advanced race, we just always assume we will be lower in moral standards (because anything below us wouldn't be considered another race, it would just be an animal?)
