Tolkien's theme

[Yavanna228]

Uh, I suppose.
Yes, especially the Numenoreans were dissatisfied with mortality, living within sight distance of the Undying Lands. But I'm sure that other races had the same thoughts, because everyone, no matter how primitive, is afraid of death at some point in their lives, even though I suppose it was not always like that in ME.
Peace

And the Doom of Men, that they should depart, was at first a gift of Iluvatar. It became a grief to them only because coming under the shadow of Morgoth it seemed to them that they were surrounded by a great darkness, of which they were afraid; and some grew wilful and proud and would not yield, until life was reft from them.
