Ah, minor fact check… per JRR’s writings the Elves and the Orcs were of the same order of creation, the sad fate of the latter group the result of Morgoth, the fallen Valar, who tormented those brought within his sphere of influence to the point their very genome was deformed. No doubt Sauron, Morgoth’s Maia who inherited the Orcs after Morgoth was vanquished, played a significant role… Sauron the Deceiver as he was known in the second age of the sun, Tolkien’s representation of the fauxLiberal in the universe of his tale.
And as for Eowyn? She fell in love with a man Tolkien describes as being everything the feminist heart could desire… what’s wrong with that? Love?
Tolkien said, through the Maia Olerin (Gandalf), that with the destruction of the ring Sauron would fall so low none could forsee him ever rising again, a spirit of malice that gnaws itself in the dark I believe were his words. Perhaps the only reason Gandalf said that was he’d never contemplated the inner nature of the American fauxLiberal to perceive the spirit of Sauron finding a fertile place to grow and regenerate.
Trying to twist my thought using Tolkien for your pry bar isn’t going to get you very far, I know his writings fairly well myself.
