Yeah. I’m not sure why, from a narrative perspective, Tolkien choose to have Melkor destroy the world’s source of light (the lamps) and then have Melkor destroy the world’s source of light (the trees this time) again. I think it’s already clear that he’s the Dark Lord after the first time he does it, but maybe there’s some additional symbolism that I missed.
Not everything needs to have deep/real-world meaning. As i recall, Tolkien really didn’t like people ascribing such things to his writing. They’re just stories and should be treated as such.
