The Fall of Men is a theme for Middle-earth in the subcategory of All Shall Come to Darkness. This macro-category represents “an order, a balance between effort and reward, sorrow and joy, fear and comfort” and the All Shall Comes to Darkness connects “to the world of death and despair”.
It’s a four note motif that represents the weakness of Men and is unique to the first film, being used once when Elendil dies and again when Boromir succumbs to the call of the ring.
