Oh boy! I'm in a Tolkien club at school, and my friend and I are grilled all the time for liking Fëanor. I definitely admit he did some questionable things (understatement) but how can you not love that rebellious fëa! I think Tolkien did a great job constructing his lines. And c'mon, how great was it when he went ahead of his party right to the gates of Angband! Sure, everyone likes Fingolfin when he does it!
