| Idril sees remarkably clearly. Poor Maedrhos. And Maglor. Neither of them were born for this. Nor the rest of Feanor's horde, really. They have found themselves mired irretrievably in deeds that cannot be reconciled with the elves they were meant to be. Author Reply: Idril seemed to me as a pov sufficently separated from the deep of things, yet close enough to have a revealing, reflective and somewaht compassionate point of view. She must have known them, if distantly, and after all that she and her people have suffered, she has had enough training to see the marks of suffering in others, I think. | |

| The Feanorians are pitiable in their doom, despite the evil they worked. And yet, I don't think I could have mustered much pity for them had I been Idril. Too many people suffered for what seems to me to be their deranged, self-centered obsession. Author Reply: Aww, Daw, thank-you for making the effort... I think there comes a time of realization when one is able to separate the deed from the doer, rejecting the first and pitying the second...and perhaps the circumstances helped Idril here, since she saw herself surrounded and warmed by family and people while confronting those fools before them... | |
