Hm, I don't agree with the suffering part, at least not for Melkor. We know of only one time he was phisically hurt, when fighting Fingolfin and being scarred by mighty Thorondor. He was two times chained, once imprisoned and at last executed by Mandos. But I don't think he received any "unhuman" treatment from his enemies, and if anything, he suffered foremost and mostly at ego level, acknowledging his actual place in the world. In the end, I don't think he had one bit of taste of what he did to his own victims.
