Fall, Mortality, and Machine in Tolkien, Part 1: From the Fall of Melkor to the Fall of Frodo

Tolkien once said that his stories contained the themes of Fall, Mortality, and Machine, and in this video I begin by exploring the first of these, with the other two to follow in subsequent videos.

For more on the fall of Man and related topics, check out my videos on the Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwi7_nABWDI) and the Tale of Adanel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcOISb-59rw)
