Really? I'll never forgive him for what he did to the Teleri. His own brothers

Have you ever read Mahabharata, the Indian epic? The story of the battle of Kurukshetra between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, brothers, when Arjuna throws his bow with tears and says that he will not fight, and the driver of his chariot, the God Krishna, explains to him why he should do it? That's an amazing text. Tolkien, I think, could not not not know this the text or the plot. And when Feanor thinks day and night how to act, I think in him understanding the same as that of Arjuna takes place. But in the case of Feanor, it is still simpler: the elves are immortal and Mandos can at any time restore the dead Teleri. Only the Noldor is at risk and forever captured by Mandos. And if Mandos didn't resurrect Teleri for some reason, then who killed them? - Feanor or Mandos?
And to leave Valinor was necessary. Otherwise Feanor himself would be killed next, then his sons. Vanyar cleared the way for the crown to his king. But Feanor was not worried about his own death, but what then would have killed all those who rose from indignation.
And Tolkien just writes from the point of view of those who paid him his millions. From the point of view of the winners (as it seems). But in fact, he is very honest.

Arjuna?
I was thinking more along the lines of Cain, and Abel
And there were grey elves, I think, or at least other elves who hated Feanor and his sons for what they did
And then he actually burns the Teleri's boats and it can be seen for miles
That left the remaining Noldor to the Helkaraxe which caused how many Noldor deaths?
But I like Feanor too, especially when he survived Gothmog without a flat out death.
Consequently, Abel can be resurrected, but Cain no!
Since its getting silly now comparing Christian resurrection with Tolkien reincarnation myths
I'll just say Feanor was too impetuous, too fierce

where was Abel killed? Abel, Finarfin, received the crown
