My views are quite different in the scnene that I like to go in a more historical persective and leaving out most of the "mystism" that is usually thrown in for fun. First of all, it is in the mind of the thinker of what type of elf was "warped" into an orc. The movie's interperation of an orc is completely opposite of what I thought an orc was. What is an orc and what type of elf it was could be a new book all in itself.
on the idea of weaker or stronger elves...I really have no arguement. My belief an elf is an elf. If they are weak in one skill, one would usually stronger in another.

Its like trying to compare Faenor to Arwen( book verison) which will be my examples. Each have obvious strengths and weakness. However they are equal because they are adapted to their own situation. I will assume since Arwen is an upright lady as described in FOTR, so to survive in a such a political environement, she would be well read and intelligent. Would know how to speak well and have leadership and people skills that would different because of their situations.
Feanor was raised in life where he was in control and would often lose his temper. He did not have to do as much behind the scenes manupluation as Arwen might possibly use her father or other males in powers.
