The choice in Middle Earth
Recently I've been thinking, the distinction between wrong and right in Middle Earth seems to me very easy: you've got a physically manifest "dark lord" who terrorizes the peoples of ME and has been historically known to make false promises; so it's very easy to tell the "bad" from the "good".
Why was it then so easy for people to be tricked by Morgoth or Sauron? What would it mean to be "wise" in ME if the average man can distinguish wrong from right? Do you think that the Tolkien characters can be classified as "black" and "white" or are there any "grey" ones you can think of? |
