Yes, Darkness is not Evil, but it has come to represent that, that and fear. It was not so in the beginning, but has become so. Shadows and Darkness have been used so much by Evil, that they are now almost indistinguishable. Night was good, Orome came riding in the night, and the Elves loved twilight and stars. Another corruption of Evil.

In general, that's it. But Tolkien will not go gently into that bad night...
