Without freewill there would have not have been a story, or at least a deadly boring one. Illuvatar's wish and will for the world and the beings therein does not go unchallanged. But the marvelous thing is that he can accomodate to allow for the occasional misguided individual's freewill. Freewill is just another variable in Illuvatar's plan that might sway one way or another.
