On the surface it would look like Feanaro, so sure of himself, was making mincemeat out of Eressetor. But the process by which Eressetor is learning to become, by way of learning how to be a good student first, how to become a free thinker, is described in fascinating, absorbing detail.
Your characterizations are wonderful. There are lots of characters to describe in this chapter and each is unique and colorful in his/her own way. But the two main ones really shine. They are so different now, but one gets the sense that Eressetor will become less of a sycophant and more his own person with the passage of time, and even if he ends up thinking the exact same way as Feanaro, at least it will come about through the process of his own reasoning.
This is such a fascinating story of one man's journey to discover himself. I can't wait to read the next chapter.
