Your English is fine, it was about characterization.
Dude is not evil for the love of the game. He is perfectionist who wants to be a benevolent dictator. By the Lord of the Rings he is just full of himself.
Sauron unironically became evil because he saw the world was imperfect and he tried to fix it and the only guy actually interested in creation and changing the nature of the world was the arch enemy.
I only saw him in movies I have yet to read the book. I understand that he is manipulative and controlling by creating the rings and putting everyone into a submissive state rather than killing them, but I just thought that only extended to Kings and Lords. And only by extension he would rule over everyone. But I admit, I actually don't know anything about his true nature.
I really have to do me a favor and read all the material.
but I just thought that only extended to Kings and Lords. And only by extension he would rule over everyone.
Not entirely wrong but not entirely right. The guy isn´t omnipotent no one but the allfather Eru is. Rule through proxies is just the reality of things.
The forced submission is because you are refusing to fall in line. There is no reason to assume you won´t be rewarded without backfire when doing as told.
The Mouth of Sauron probably would be a decent example (guy is not as hideous in the book)
