[T]his world of ours has some purpose; and if there is a purpose, there is a person. I have always felt life first as a story: and if there is a story there is a story-teller.
—G. K. Chesterton

Considering Tolkien’s use of breaking the unity of white light into the “many colors” of the spectrum as a symbol for relativism, it is indeed ironic that today’s radical relativists, in the branding and brandishing of their self-adulating and self-justifying “Pride,” have adopted the rainbow as their symbol. As Oscar Wilde would no doubt remind us, art doesn’t always follow life; sometimes life follows art.

Melkor, later known as Morgoth, is Middle-earth’s equivalent of Lucifer, or Satan. Tolkien describes him as the greatest of the Ainur, as Lucifer was the greatest of the archangels. Like Lucifer, Melkor is the embodiment and primeval perpetrator of the sin of pride and is intent on corrupting humanity for his own purposes. Melkor desired “to subdue to his will both Elves and Men, envying the gifts with which Ilúvatar promised to endow them; and he wished himself to have subjects and servants, and to be called Lord, and to be master over other wills.”

It is surely no wonder, considering the centuries beyond number that they have fought against a seemingly indestructible evil, that the elves consider death to be a gift bestowed upon men by God, who is known to the elves as Ilúvatar (the All-Father): “But the sons of Men die indeed, and leave the world; wherefore they are called the Guests, or the Strangers. Death is their fate, the gift of Ilúvatar, which as Time wears even the Powers shall envy.”

Answering the charge that fairytales are escapist, Tolkien readily concedes that escape is one of their main functions: “Why should a man be scorned, if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if, when he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison walls?”
