You're right, of course, that the concept of murder originated with Morgoth. And you're right that Morgoth was the first to demonstrate it. However, I still believe the idea of one elf killing another was entirely inconceivable at the time.

I also agree that Feanor is more deserving of pity than hate. He was a deeply passionate creature, and a victim of Morgoth's lies. His spirit was too ablaze to contain, I guess... Which is why we're not calling him Curufinwe.
