remorse for bad guys?

does anyone here feel any sort of sorrow or remorse for the "bad guys" of Middle EArth? I know I do. I totally have a soft spot in my heart for Feanor and for Sauron as well. I am convinced that something horrible had to have happened for Sauron to have joined Morgoth/Melkor. I am convinced!!!

I usually do have pity on the bad guys but Melkor for example just doesn't leave much room for my to like him. I always thought of LotR as being a story where in particular I mostly loved the good guys and hated the bad guys. I can at some points find reasons why I would respect some of them, but generally not at all.

Now of course I don't think of Feanor as a bad guy. If he was to be considered a bad guy then yes, I do feel sympathy for him. I love him. -_-

Fëanor wasn't really a bad guy, just misguided by Sauron, who was a thoroughly bad guy.

Same here. Feanor is really cool, and Smeagol is a pitiable creature.

Don't believe in it too much, Arien dear; that way lies heresy.
