Ah but there are other examples even French ones ... one of my favourite operas, Rodelinda, is based on a play by Corneille and at the end Bertarido spares his usurper Grimoaldo to prove he has the better heart...

These are all good points

and perhaps we have answered hewhoarisesinmight's original question, in a round-about offtopic way. If Melkor had diminished in power by the time the Valar waged war against him, maybe they knew he was significantly weakened and so they knew that Tulkas would be able to defeat him 1 on 1, so they didn't see the need to attack him all at once.
