Part 7/9:
Interestingly, while certain parts of Middle-earth, like precious metals, bore the brunt of this corruption (i.e., gold often inciting greed), the Blessed Realm remained only marginally affected, yet not entirely unscathed. Even powerful beings, such as Fëanor, faced tragic fates, further cementing Morgoth's overwhelming presence across all aspects of reality.
The Cycle of Evil and the Hope of Redemption
Though evil exists in many forms, it is perpetually nurtured by Morgoth's lingering influence, hinting that even the aftermath of Sauron’s fall might not eliminate the root of evil itself. Frodo's struggles with the One Ring can be viewed as reflections of the constant battle against not only Sauron but also the more profound darkness embodied in Morgoth.
