Part 2/10:
The prevailing argument suggests that Sauron could not subjugate the Balrog due to their shared lineage as Maiar. The idea here posits that since both beings belong to the same race, they are hierarchically equal, and thus Sauron would find it impossible to dominate the creature. However, Isaac staunchly refutes this notion. He draws attention to Tolkien’s legendarium, which illustrates time and again that two beings of the same race can indeed be subordinate to one another.
