Unorthodox Heroes?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Is Maedhros not an interesting character ?

Each time i read the Sil. i find my self constantly switching in opinion of him. He is of course a villian, but he seems to have a side to him that the other sons of Fëanor dos not have.

He opposes the burning of the ships at Losgar
He gives the high-kingship to Fingolfin
He formed the Union of Maedhros

And then he does all his evil deeds, one of them being the assult on the havens of Sirion

ofcourse driven by his oath.
