See, I've never gotten the impression that a choice was involved. It seems to me that irreparable damage had been done...she had given too much to Feanor.
Just a different interpretation, I guess ;)
See, I always thought "Well, it's Valinor, right? Shouldn't all hurts be healed?" Anyway...
But isn't interpretation great?? :)
To play Devil's advocate (which I occasionally like to do, as you can see!), if Finwe had not remarried, stealing the Sils would have been difficult as Feanor would not have had a half-brother to threaten and get him banished to Formenos, and so Morgoth would have had to steal the Sils and murder Finwe in the middle of a crowded city. (Or just outside of one, according to Felak!canon ;D)
To continue with my half of being D.A., if Feanor's half siblings didn't exist, he'd have no reason to fear them, so he would be off his guard, perhaps making it just as easy for Morgoth to steal the silmarils. And, as you said, Morgoth was gonna find a way...
Of course not! That was me playing Devil's advocate, pointing out that Indis is often villainized (in fan fiction) for falling in love with Finwe, but I've never seen the opposite tactic tried.
No! Back you little fanged beast! You shall not taste [wo]man flesh! But isn't playing Devil's Advocate just so much fun?
Maybe it will come back; maybe it's gone the way of the Silmarils. (Okay, no more dumb Sil-metaphors, promise ;D) Regardless, thanks for the good discussion :)
Yeah sure. We nerds can never resist bad Sil puns/metaphors/anything! ;) This discussion is much more interesting that my 260 question technology review. So thank you.
