Feanor's Wrath - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I agree Anguirel.

It's a pity we are only acquainted with Feanor the Acerbic, Feanor the Dangerous, Feanor the Wrathful. I would suspect that had Tolkien wanted to, he could have made this passionate eldar the most life-like character in the books. We can only imagine what the "normal" Feanor could have been like - was he a loving husband? A nurturing father? A great builder and leader of his people - one that was beloved and trusted? And how about Feanor the scholar and lover of lores and literature?

For shame... For shame...

Exactly. And the closest we get to that is when Gandalf talks about "Feanor the Artist" in the Two Towers...
