What I meant to say was, Eol's greatest weakness was his pride, and it was also Maeglin's greatest weakness. Something like that tends to be passed on, not by biology, but by kids watching their parents' behavior. Maeglin probably saw his father being really arrogant towards his mother, and subconsciously, thought it was the way to be. It's another one of those Freudian things.
