Míriel's death - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

What I want to know is, did the part of Miriel's life force that she lost through bearing her great child pass through Feanor's hands into the Silmarils? Is that Miriel's better half shining up there in the sky of Middle Earth?

I know the light is that of the trees (I don't know if that was changed in Morgoth's Ring, I don't have it yet. It must have been if the Trees disappeared.) My theory so far: the light of the trees was caught in the life of the trees, supported by their life; the light in the Silmarils was caught in a life that was originally part of Miriel's Fea and was then formed into the Silmarils along with whatever other materials Feanor used to make the jewels. Life is the ether, light is a wave in the ether. That's an old theory of light.
