Fëanor is the most infamous and controversial Elf in Tolkien's Legendarium. Instead of exploring his obsession with the Silmarils or his irrevocable Oath, I explore what I consider to be an unnatural upbringing. The death of his brother, the second wife taken by his father, and his hatred of his new family. All contributing to the figure Fëanor would later become.
