Clear line between good and evil - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think that Tolkien said somewhere that it would be possible to reform an orc.

I believe that there is a big long thread about that somewhere in the Revising the Sil. Forum, but I don't remember what it's called.

Essentially I think that evil boiled down to whether or not you were consciously trying to serve only yourself or if you were trying to serve something larger than yourself i.e. Melkor desiring to increase his own role and glory rather than adorning the Music of Iluvatar.
