Re: Unpopular Opinions Thread

[philstar22]

This seems unpopular only in the Tumblr Tolkien fandom, but I don't think Feanor was a good father. Nothing in his personality strikes me as someone who would have wanted to spend lots of time with his kids or be super nurturing. The art of Feanor holding Maedhros or the headcanons about him being an awesome grandfather to Celebrimbor are cute, but I don't think they fit with how I see the character.

Just, the second oath he forced on his sons, having himself realizing that beating Morgoth was literally impossible, just says it all about who he was.

I'm all for liking characters who do horrible things. But in my mind he's irredeemable and I struggle to see any positive traits.

I don't think that's generally unpopular? Opinions on him are always split but I see tons of abusive dad Feanor stuff.

Though I read it differently because his sons were definitely adults at the time, and were just as into taking the oath so I can't see that as them being coerced.

I don't think he was a terrible father, but I do imagine him as too passionate and too obsessive to be an absolutely perfect one.

I do think he may have been a good mentor in smithing for Curufin, because Curufin is the son who had both his mothername and fathername indicating he was Fëanor's Mini Me.

I struggle with Feanor too. To me, it always felt like he had children to compensate for the loss of his mother. The reason his dad remarried was to have a bigger family, so Feanor was out to make that happen just on his own and to prove Indis was unnecessary. It wasn't an inherent desire for children because he liked children and wanted to be a dad.

I just think he was so wrapped up in himself that he didn't really see his children or their needs. He would use them to further his own ends, and I'm sure he was delighted when they connected with his own passions. He would even be delighted in Maglor being praised for being such a renowned musician, even if he might not appreciate it for himself.

He must've done something to engender his sons' deep love and loyalty, but I agree that it is hard to see him as a loving father. I do think that Nerdanel's influence may have been heaviest in this area, making sure he paid attention when he otherwise might not have.
