Wrong, I have read the works and wrote down all references to oath taking in
Tolkien's works (one's that I can remember, and as I re-read). Perhaps
the society of Gondor and Rohan consider oaths to be noble, but the higher
powers warn against it, as does James 5 in the Bible. Mortals inability
to see the big picture, or control the situations around them, or be able to
predict that their oath may make them do something immoral, all make it unwise
for a man or woman to vow anything. It leads to "condemnation", just as
men and women often fall into despair because of their lack of foresight.
I am focusing on Feanor, but will obviously deal with anything that does not
support my thesis in the texts of the Lord Of the Rings, because obviously the
Gondorians and Rohirim consider oath taking to be a big tradition.
Furthermore, just because Tolkien punishes oath breakers, this is part the
point, because an oath will hold you to your word, this is reason against
taking
oaths.
