The whole half-brother conflict is understandable. Most half-brothers or step-brothers have that problem, vying for their father's (or mother's) attention. With Fëanor, it was even worse, because he didn't have another parent to fall back upon. All he had was his father, and now that was being taken from him by these little usurpers. His anger and resentment is completely understandable.
