The Ainur and the Children

[Demloth of Dol Amroth]

do keep in mind, however, that Tolkien was a christian, and various comparisons can be made through some objects and characters-like, One Ring=sin, Melkor=Devil. i was surprised in reading the simarillion at how similar the story of melkor's fall was to the fall of lucifer/satan, and how they both got a name change down on earth. it could be that tolkien, in this second Arda, is making comparisons of the restored second Arda to the restored second Earth that is said to come about in the book of Revelation in the Bible-and as God and Iluvator have similar absolute powers, i would guess that evil does in the end get eradicated-pulled from all memory and knowledge. but there will always be speculation
