Dave C-Q and I were discussing Sauron's ultimate destination ie the Void. Dave made a curious comment about orcs ending up in the Halls of Mandos. I don't know where he read this but if it is true it got me to thinking on what will ultimately happen to the orcs. Since the orcs were originally the most blessed of the speaking peoples, elves, but were perverted through neither their action or choice I wonder if a time will come when, say, Iluvatar will return them to their original state? Evil, yes, by choice no. I would think that their miserable existance and their inner hatred of the one they have no choice but to serve would be punishment enough for their evil deeds. The predicament of the orcs has always bothered me. I just can't help but feel sorry for them. Put yourself in their place. It reminds me of the tragedy of Frankenstein's monster. He had no choice about who or what he was yet still suffered greatly for it. So, what do ya'll think?
