Part 6/9:
The comparison of Morgoth to a figure like Satan in Christian theology becomes apparent through the essence that his fall brought upon creation, inciting rebellion that reverberated far beyond his temporal defeat. Sauron's name may have been synonymous with evil for many, but he was merely a puppet working within the frameworks that Morgoth established and tainted.
The Implication of Destruction
The act of destroying Sauron’s Ring was accessible since it was localized to a specific object, while to vanquish Morgoth would necessitate the dismantlement of Arda itself. This poses a daunting perspective in Tolkien's lore; no being could effectively combat Morgoth without this complete eradication, illustrating the catastrophic implications of his extensive corruption.
