Aredhel the bad girl?

[Eol]

Personaly I think the smallest discessions can make the world of a difference. I agree with the concept that Aredhel was part of the downfall, however it would be unfair to choose that because it is an example of what a "good woman" should not do.

Something that I have been learning about the Silmarillion, the stories may seem to have everything pre-determined, you do not have a choice. However it is a story of choice as well as pre-destination. Maglor made the choice to throw the silmaril into the ocean. He also did not want to steal the last two stones, but his brother persuaded him to do so.

It is our own belief that creates the doom. We think there is not a choice when there is. We create our own doom. Maeglin choose to go at his cousin after he was told no. Maeglin also choice to ask his mother to flee Nan Enmoth to return home and leave Eol behind.
