Why is Melkor so utterly evil?? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think so too, Melkor was just too proud at the beginning and he became greedy, because he (as the most powerful Vala) wanted the world for him alone and didn´t want to share it with Manwe or the other Valar.
In someway I can understand Melkor really good and in my eyes he´s a tragic person.
He was jealous of Manwe (and the others, too) because he was the mightiest, but the others were treated just like him.
And when he had started feeling jealouse, he soon felt hate and he couldn´t stop it anymore. The others were happy and he grew evil.
