Ooohhh... I have to read that. Too bad he didn't finish it, because it does sound like an extremely interesting story.

I think Tolkien included the evil rising/evil subsiding pattern because that is just something that happens in our world. We seem to have times of peace, then we go into war, peace comes again and then war comes again. And this story is of course most likely there to teach a lesson... most likely a lesson about how people should apprciate the times of peace and keep away from the dark side.
