Whats your thoughs on the comming of men? Why did Iluvatar do it? What was Tolkien purpose?
I think that the men were created so the the fate of arda was to fade out of the hands of the valar, sort of a keeper of the land. His purpose was servered the tale told and rather than an end, men were created who can make their own destiny and the valar fade out so to begin another Theme in the void or watch and see what the last children do? I think Tolkien wove men into the story with there own seperate destiny to sort of make the whole endevour of middle earth a mythical way of explaining humans and our behaviors?
