Feanor Self-Important?

[Gorthol]

Fëanor and Noldor had free will, as well as the Vanyar and the Teleri The difference is that Fëanor is too proud to accept guidance by others. I completely agree with Lord of Angmar and The Saucepan Man. It is just too easy to excuse our bad acts by blaming the environment or our genes, and I cannot imagine Fëanor doing it.

You only have free will within your own understanding. The problem for the society today and others is that when a person breaks the law it's only *that* person that is to blame, don't you think that it's more likely that this person is formed through his life, his upbringning, his school, his genes?? And thus becomes what he becomes..?
That's what I stand by 100% Do we have a free will? Or is what we do and accomplish already decided through whats stated above? Fëanor was decieved by the God of all Gods so how can you blame him? Really?
