Eldar14, I don't think Melkor did what he did to do evil; he simply wanted to dominate, to have power. What happens is that his desire for power makes him go against Ilúvatar, thus, becoming evil. He cannot create things himself, only Ilúvatar can, so he has to take those things already created and make them his. Remember that in the beginning of his 'kingdom' in ME, many Maiar were drawn to him, because of the splendour of his realm. BUT, as Kuruharan says in the post below yours, his doings will stil be taken into the greater theme, because they will bring greater glory in the end.
