Then wrath mastered Morgoth, and he said: 'Yet I may come at you, and all your accursed house; and you shall be broken on my will, though you all were made of steel.' And he took up a long sword that lay there and broke it before the eyes of Húrin, and a splinter wounded his face
@MorgothArc @LaoziNabu @ToIkienverse@PlatinumEquinox@TheRingsofPower Just so we're clear. Tolkien did believe in evil. He didn't believe things started Evil. But he most certainly believed in evil/corruption. He left it as a possibility of orcs becoming uncorrupted in an offhand sort of way. If pressed, the probability approached zero.
