"The history of Arda repeatedly shows that it is the libido dominandi—the
lust for power—that corrupts. The virtue of creative liberty, inherent
in the Great Music, is twisted by the tyrannical desire to direct and
dictate. In Tolkien’s world, power—when it dominates or seeks to
dominate other wills and minds—is evil, but that doesn’t make it any
less tempting, even to good people."
