	Of the Coming of the Elves and the Captivity of Melkor
		I think it's clear from certain later events in the Silmarillion that Tolkien did include something like brainwashing as one of Melkor's techniques, so we need to be cautious in attributing his whole concept of Orcish character to racial inheritance.
		In some of his earliest drafts of what became the Silmarillion, Tolkien had the elves eventually "waning" to a very small size, like the pretty but trivial pixies of 19th-century fairy tales.
		Some passages in the Silmarillion and in Tolkien's letters make it clear he disapproved of some actions of the Valar, such as inviting the elves to Valinor, but it's less clear exactly _why_ he disapproved.

		The Silmarillion is the history of the rebellion of Feanor and his people against the gods, their exile in Middle-earth, and their war, hopeless despite all the heroisim of Elves and Men, against the great Enemy.
		After The Silmarillion is "Akallabeth," the story of the downfall of the great island kingdom of Numenor at the end of the Second Age; completing the volume is "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age," in which the events of The Lord of the Rings are treated in the manner of The Silmarillion.

		As the equivalent to the Bible, the Silmarillion is the recording of Time, from the Creation (Genesis), to the Awakening of the Firstborn, and finally to the Great Wars of the powers to be and all of Ilúvatar’s children, shaping the Ages of the world passed and gone.
		Behind the written words, the driving force is the desire to uncovering the root of all cultures, of all peoples; unraveling the secrets of the Earth, of the giveth and taketh of life, of all probabilities of existence and evolution.

	Silmarillion
		The Silmarillion, published four years after the death of its author, is an account of the Elder Days, or the First Age of the World.
		Not only, however, does The Silmarillion relate the events of a far earlier time than those of The Lord of the Rings; it is also, in all the essentials of its conception, far the earlier work.
		Indeed, although it was not then called The Silmarillion, it was already in being half a century ago; and in battered notebooks extending back to 1917 can still be read the earliest versions, often hastily pencilled, of the central stories of the mythology.
