Curses, defeated again by those Harry Potter nerds! They usurp the spotlight even more than men!!
Anyway, you guys have it completely right. You mourn the destruction of the world by Morgoth, but there is not enough detail for it to be scary. Saruman appears worse than Sauron because he is actually talking in the book, but I can tell you, even at thirteen years of age, when I first read Akkalabeth before bed one night it was pretty darn scary. Just imagining the burning, the torture, the wrath of Eru, the downfall of the blessed men. <sigh>
Oh and Feanor is not evil, just stubborn.
