But I've always found orcs to be sympathetic caricatures, or at lest pitiable. And I think Tolkien intended for them to be so.
"In the beginning the Universe was created.This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.” Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
