An interesting topic I percieved this would make.
Has anyone realized that if you look back into the history of Middle Earth, there seems to be a bit of a repetetive line?

EXAMPLES: There are many famous tales of love like that of Aragorn and Arwen such as Beren and Luthien Tinuviel, (as well: I should like to know, did Tinuviel give her immortality for him? I couldnt find that anywhere)
Also, one major event I noticed: The similarity between Melkor and Sauron. There seems to me to be an uncanny resemblance to the way that Melkor gained power, failed and then returned a second time, more powerful than ever and failed once mroe in a pattern very much like Sauron's.

Is there anyone that shares this opinion? Or have I been terribly mistaken and there is no connection of the sort?
