fëanor

Gah i cant stand this guy, everything he does just makes me want to yell profanities at him :mad: 1stly: He was the first person to threaten another in Aman with a weapon, it was even his brother for pete sakes. 2ndly: He refused to had over the Silmairills for the greater good for the...

Just a question, what kind of character do you prefer? A character with flaws a.l.a Feanor, with some evil tucked inside or a pefect, great *Yawn* Finrod type character? Personally, I love the flawed/evil good guys, like say 'Angel' (From 'Buffy' and 'Angel') and Feanor, rather then the boring...

While reading the sil, i noticed that when he had been mortally wounded by the Belrogs of Morgoth, and his sons carried him away, as he was dying he cursed Morgoth thrice. So i was wondering if, it was possible that his words contributed to, Sauron being allowed to return three times, to middle...

I AM SORRY I AM LATE!!!!! :( ************** 1/ Why, do you think, were there different types of literacy i.e. types of recording in writing? Could this fact be considered as representative of the development of literacy in “real” human history ? Or was it the “springs” of art? I think...

just wondering what the general consensus was on the life and times of feanor. clearly he was party to some deplorable acts, eg kinslaying, but all in all would you consider him to be more sinned against than sinning or vice versa?

As we know,Fëanor made the Silmarils and the Palantiri,and these were his most famous works. The Silmarils were priceless to him and they were the chief cause for the flight of the Noldor.The Palantiri were apparently not as precious to him as the Silmarils,but they were without a doubt very...

Many blame the Flight of the Noldor on the Valar failing to act when Melkor destroyed the trees and stole the Silmarils. I had forgotten this passage and all of the evil emotions that Melkor had begun to bring to fruition long before he fled Valinor after his first unchaining. My...

Feanor: Hate him or feel bad for him? I know that a lot of the things he did were just rotten but in a way I kind of felt bad 4 him. The reason most of this even started was cuz of Melkor's lies that took advantage of Feanor's already suspicious nature. I know that's still no excuse, but I...

I was reading this most interesting discussion about the "High Kings" of the Noldor, and the subject of canonicity of the Shibboleth of Fëanor came up. There appear to be certain "contradictions" in the Shibboleth that go against those in the Silmarillion and in Morgoth's Ring. This are...

OK it would seem that Fëanor and Luthien kindled most people's hearts in the "Who's the greatest elf" discussion.Luthy was excluded from that poll,so let's see what this forum really thinks! GO LUTHIEN! :D ;)

Do you think that his death was better for the Noldor in general because it allowed for the healing of the houses of Fëanor and Fingolfin by the actions of Fingon and Maedhros? Or the might of Fëanor would have helped the Noldor further against their war with Morgoth? Remember, Fëanor would...

I'm curious as to how the members of this forum view the works of Tolkien from a literary perspective, do you think Tolkien holds his own in the Field of Great Writers or do you feel that he is a mere lightweight, telling a good tale? Personally I think Tolkien was a great writer - some of...

This thread is to delve into the what ifs and might have beens had Feanor behaved in a different way. Any concept or premise is fair game. I want this thread to follow along the lines of the Political Thread where we discuss one aspect of Feanor's life and then go to others. Let's start by...

Here is a good one (at least i see it as), How do you think thins had turned if Fëanor`s father (right now i can remember the name) han´t got marry again?, Would Fëanor stilll listen to Melkor and all his things? Pippin

Just a thought to get some feedback on. Who further Morgoth's will more against the elves while Morgoth was still around, Sauron, Gothmog, or Feanor? The kinslaying, the oath which ultimately led so many to doom, and the leaving of so many to take the treacherous journey to the north when...

What do you think that the Noldor should have done after the death of the King Finwe. What should Feanor and Fingolfin have done? Go after Morgoth or do as the Valar say?

I have question- if you would associate a historical figure ( literature or proven)who would you assocaite with Feanor? I have found that Pyrrhus of Eprius is rather suitable as he was brillant tactition of warfare, but tended to be a bit too eagar. Camillius would be another that I would...

Melkor and Feanor. Are they so different? Let´s see: Melkor was the most powerful of all the Valar and Feanor was in many ways the mighiest of all the children of illuvatar. Is it their desire for more knowledge and prestige that led them to their fates. Is Melkor really a Vala, (I know he is...

I always have trouble pronouncing the elvish names - can anyone tell me how exactly you pronouce 'Feanor?'

What do you think of Fëanor? Sure he did some wonderfull things, but he caused the slewing of the Teleri, he left his brother and nephews to cross the Hecaraxe, he brought the doom of Mandos upon the Noldor. He caused more greaf than joy.. Was he the greates among the Elves knowledge and...
