Very well done; an excellent reflection on the nature of regret and determination. I've always imagined Maglor and his brothers (to varying degrees) thinking more like this about the whole saga than like single-minded vengeance machines, and I think exploring that in its various forms is what keeps them interesting.

I think the key is the "in varying degrees" part. Not every Feanorian was a vengeance machine, but I'm not sure I'd be convinced by (for instance) Carnistir being more comfortable with self-introspection than deeds of bravery. Maglor, however, is probably the brother that I see as the most introspective and sensitive which is probably why he is the one I am drawn to. In any event, I'm glad you found this an interesting read. Thanks for your review.
