This darkness is somewhat explained in HoMe X, Morgoth's Ring. There is a story there among the Edain concerning the first fall. It was apparently the belief of some of the Edain that Melkor was responsible for causing them do die, but it seems more likely that it was Iluvatar punishing them for listening to Melkor, as in Christianity.
