Just to give you guys a little more to talk about (because I dont see any mention of it).
Those that speculat that JRRT is trying to tell us how wonem should or should not act, and that Aredhel was a 'bad girl' then you might want to remember that it was pretty much the same caracteristics that are applied to Galagriel and her reasons for leaving Valinor: Feeling closed in, thought that she had learned/gained what she could from the Valar - wanted to find new lands, govern other people - and so on.
Just when you read about Galadriel you get a quite positive feeling about the whole deal, because it pretty much went good. But when Aredhel is some way (very indirectly imo) leads to the Fall of Gondolin - well then people speculate...

well, just thoughts...
