You make a great work of characterization. I´ve always thought of Nerdanel as a proud woman, capable of matching Fëanor in strong will and stand in front of him when his anger arises. Fëanor acts with that arrogant attitude of his lasts days, determined to make his point at any cost.

The coldness which he dismisses Nerdanel is touching. Her failed prophecy about the one son who will not follow Fëanor (something removed from the Silm definitive version, if I recall correctly) makes all the situation sadder.

Just a disageement in one point: I´m not sure Fëanor came to inflinct phisic violence on her on a regular basis. I do believe, however, at some point he could have raised his hand against her for the first and last time, and that being the final reason for Nerdanel leaving her husband behind. Then again, don´t think the Valar would have allowed any type of violence from an elf against other elf. Well, just my opinion Wink smiley face

Excellent work. Hope this help you to keep on writing.

Very interesting glimpse into incidents alluded to, but not spelled out. Totally conceivable. I also have a hard time with the violence, but then, they did murder the Teleri, did they not? I also do not buy into the Elves always in control of their emotions. Feanor was a grand example of out of control. Thank you.
