FoTR おまけor蛇足

今「罪と罰classic版」を読んでいるので、「指輪物語」と連動して考えてしまう。
・ラスコーリニコフの理論
The crimes of these people are, of course, relative and multifarious; for the most part what they are demanding, in highly varied forms, is the destruction of the present reality in the name of one that is better, But if such a person finds it necessary, for the sake f his idea, to step over a dead body, over a pool of blood, then he is able within his own conscience to give himself permission to do so - always having regard to the nature of the idea and its dimensions - note that.
・サルマンの説得
We may join with that Power, It would be wise, Gandalf. There is hope that way. Its victory is at hand; and there will be rich reward for those that aided it. As the Power grows, its proved friends will also grow; and the Wise, such as you and I, may with patience come at last to direct its courses, to control it. We can bide our time, we can keep our thoughts in our hearts, deploring maybe evils done by the way, but approving the high and ultimate purpose: Knowledge, Rule, Order; all the things that we have so far striven in vain to accomplish, hindered rather than helped by our weak or idle friends. There need not be, there would not be, any real changes in our designs, only in our means.
つまり大儀のためには小事に目をつぶるってことか！こんな風に戦争やテロを始める人たち大勢いるよね…で、今のところの結論は「悪の起源は傲慢である」
もともとメルコールがイルーヴァタルに張り合おうとしたのも、傲慢から生まれた貧欲と嫉妬だった…と思う（自信ないけど^^;）
