Iarwain, would there have been good without evil? I think not because people have nothing to compare good to they don't know what good is. And without evil everything can't join forces to do good. If Illuvatar has said to Melkor that everything will eventualt turn out fine and according to his plans, then yes Illuvatar wanted there to be evil.

if there was no evil, then was only good. but you are right, people wouldn't see themselves as 'good', only as being. and that was iluvatar's purpose. correct?
