Then again Curunir wasn't an elf so that may not be very surprising.

Their behavior was indeed very uncommon for elven lords. One may wonder what Fëanor had thought if he had heard of it.

Well, this chapter has many interesting "What ifs?" to it. What if Luthien and Huan had arrived slightly earlier at the Fortress, would Finrod have survived, would he have been able to make a difference taking the silmaril, would he have led a force into the Nirnaeth (in the next chapter) thus turning battle's tide? What if the knife had not broken and Beren had gotten all three silmarils?

Another interesting note is that Finrod mentiones that so far Celegorm and Curufin have done all that he has asked and shown him friendship at every opportunity. Then he says the problems that bringing this up in front of them are going to cause.

It is almost scary to see the effect of the oath on all of the sons. People like to play it down and just pretend that they were evil in the beginning, but it is obvious they were as noble as any other elf, but this oath mastered them as it would ANY elf.
