Yay! Thanks Ruinel! Inderjit totally convinced me there that my stance of Feanor was wrong... You've renewed by detestation!

How do you know how he felt looking at all the elves who had eternal life, yet his mother was not with him? Quote:
Why did Melkor tried to influence Fëanor most of all, because HE was the genius amongst the elves. What would a mere say an FF could compare in the genius of him? Fëanor was the only elf capable of leading the Ñoldor out of Valinórë, he was the only one who had the passion to follow his will. Quote:

I consider Feanor to be one of those Elves whose fea was tainted. So the tragic events that happened in his life really don't matter too much. Had his parents lived, he probably would still have been the same. His spirit was just not quite right.

Yes, I agree... Fëanor was the reason behind the Noldor leaving Valinor and going to ME. I see you are still hinding behind SGH skirts, pup! roflol! *puts sword away, as Maedhros is frightened enough* |

Fëanor would have never rebelled against his father. There Ñoldor would have been under the leadership of Finwë and with the Valar they would have brought Melkor down. Unfortunately with this scenario, ME would have been probably more devastated by such a war than the War of Wrath in the Published Silmarillion in where almost all of Beleriand was destroyed. Quote:

IMO, his life would've been more stable with a mother+father, and if Miriel had chosen to be re-embodied when aksed and if she was able to have children my view is that he would've loved/cared for them very much. |

I don't know whether his fëa was tainted, but I'm convinced that M*riel's was, and Finwë's too, I think. Quote:

I would like to point out that in Unfinished Tales, JRRT came to the final conclusion that Galadriel was unfriends forever with Feanor and took no part in his rebellion or the Kinslaying, but went to Middle-Earth in a ship she and Celevborn had made. Indeed, she seems rather obsessed with her half-brother and his deeds.
