[Formendacil]

One of the really funny things about Earendil's sacrifice, to my mind, is that this comes after years of what can be easily painted as a somewhat lacklustre relationship. Elwing seems to have always taken the backseat to Earendil's love of the sea, and that ever-present hope of his that he would find his parents. That Earendil ends up giving up his desire to be accounted one of Man, and accepts the "curse" of Elvenkind, is, indeed, very interesting...
