 | | If he was of Arda, like Elves, Men, Ents and the like, then he was tainted by the marring of Arda. |
 | | My point about the Marring, in the post already given in meaningful parenthesis, only becomes truly valid when you make the simple mental realization that Tom, if he were Eä, would not simply be marred to the degree other inhabitants are, but incorporate all Marring and the Marrer itself. |
 | | To me, this suggests that he is not marred, since the Ring works by appealing to the evil, ie marred, side of those with whom it comes in contact. |
