This document summarizes the conflict between good and evil in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. It explains that while good has been given the One Ring, using it would mean becoming like Sauron, so their only option is to destroy it. However, Sauron's power is still greater than his enemies' unless Frodo succeeds in destroying the Ring. The summary concludes that Tolkien was able to meet the increasing demands of writing such a long epic tale.

2. To present the conflict between Good and Evil as a war in which
the good side is ultimately victorious is a ticklish business. Our
historical experience tells us that physical power and, to a large
extent, mental power are morally neutral and effectively real:
wars are won by the stronger side, just or unjust. ... As readers of
the preceding volumes will remember, the situation in the War
of the Ring is as follows: Chance, or Providence, has put the Ring
in the hands of the representatives of Good, Elrond, Gandalf,
Aragorn. By using it they could destroy Sauron, the incarnation
of evil, but at the cost of becoming his successor. If Sauron
recovers the Ring, his victory will be immediate and complete,
but even without it his power is greater than any his enemies
can bring against him, so that, unless Frodo succeeds in
destroying the Ring, Sauron must win. ... The demands made on
the writer's powers in an epic as long as "The Lord of the Rings"
are enormous and increase as the tale proceeds — the battles
have to get more spectacular, the situations more critical, the
adventures more thrilling — but I can only say that Mr. Tolkien
has proved equal to them.
