Feanor Self-Important?

[Aredhel Idril Telcontar]

I personally believe that both the Noldor and the Teleri are responsible for the kinslaying. The Noldor, for losing their tempers and starting to steal the ships and kill people.
The Teleri, for blindly trusting the Valar who never cared for much except their precious Valinor.

To Phantom: Wow! I fully agree with you!

Anyway, like I said in my previous reply, if Feanor would not have done what he did, it could well mean no light for Middle Earth and no one to teach the Edain.

, surely Feanor's most reprehensible act was abandoning the hosts of Fingolfin and Finarfin's sons on the shores of Aman

Yep! Even worse than the Kinslaying. Feanor blindy panicked which led to the anger between the houses.
