The feeling I get is that Men are the main characters in the whole Arda saga. Elves are just supplementary, they are there to get Men a good start, to set an example. It is Men that will complete the story, bring it to a climax; they are the prime movers at the centre of Eru's plan. And Dwarves, they're just Eru doing a buddy a favour, aren't they?
