There is a problem in explaining the origin of Melkor's evil nature, in the creation myth Ainulindale of The Silmarillion .
If Eru is wholly good, and if Eru was wholly responsible for creating Melkor - then Melkor's evil nature and choices must derive ultimately from Eru...
(Which apparently means that Eru is not wholly good.)
I discuss this, and some possible answers, over at the Notion Club Papers.
